A Queens man is accused of flinging a cat off his third-floor balcony, then stomping her to death on the sidewalk in full view of playing children, Queens prosecutors said Tuesday.
Giovanni Olivo has been indicted on charges of aggravated cruelty to animals and endangering the welfare of a child for the heinous act, prosecutors said.
Olivo, 30, allegedly threw the adult female feline off his Far Rockaway balcony in September and then headed down to the sidewalk when he realized she was still moving.
He’s accused of then repeatedly stomping on the kitty while shrieking “you’re dead to this world!” as horrified children and their parents looked on.
Olivo faces up to two years in prison if convicted.
Queens DA Richard Brown called the incident a “vile act of brutality.”
Olivio was released without bail and is set to return to court July 13.
Defense attorney Rachel Davidson declined comment.
