According to Colombian medium El Tiempo, the driver was going at high speed, you can see how the group of cyclists pointed to the man having run over the animal and how he pulls out a machete and threatens them.

Cyclists defend themselves with their bikes and do not allow the driver to run away, so their partner who was with him intervenes. In the face of complaints, he looks like one of the men mocks the situation, a cyclist points out that he was going in training when the driver moved from the side where the dogs were on the left side of the track. The group of cyclists stopped to take care of the dog, but this unfortunately was dead.” The lord went down to treat us badly”

While the cyclists were arguing with the driver, the dog owner gave notice to the police.” They made me show the video to the police to prove that the gentleman did have a machete. The policeman approached, checked the car and pulled out the machete”Due to the machete, the man was arrested and the company Pollo Andino, which where the men involved and the cargo vehicle are linked, said a statement.” Today we want to make this announcement in order to not only inform all those who have contacted us to express their annoyance, but also, to express that as a company we do not agree with the behavior shown by these ex-staff.”
