Syracuse police say a Graves Street man hanged a kitten and made a video of the animal struggling.

Rascell Williams, 22, of 303 Graves St., was alone with the cat on Halloween, according to his live-in girlfriend, Joanne Cichy. When she got home she couldn't find the cat.

The next day she found a video on her digital camera showing the four-month-old kitten hanging from the apartment door with a belt around its neck. The video, police said, shows the kitten struggling before going motionless.
