FRAMINGHAM — A local man is accused of grabbing a puppy by the neck and trying to steal it on Wednesday, claiming it was his dog, authorities said. He then allegedly disconnected her leash from the dog and picked up the dog by its neck and ran away. A witness gave chase before the suspect allegedly took the leash off the puppy, dropped it and tried to ride away on a bike. When he drew near the woman who owned the puppy, the man allegedly punched her in the arm, according to the report. When police arrived, the suspect allegedly ran into the middle of Hollis Street, screaming and forcing traffic to stop because he wouldn’t move.
