The owner was on Allen Street when he was called over to the intersection at Harris Street by a man who was shouting abuse at him.
When the pair tried to leave, the man punched the owner, before kicking Zico.
By Sunday night, police had arrested and charged a 34-year-old man with five offences including animal cruelty, assault, offensive behaviour and intimidation.
He was refused bail and is due to appear in Central Local Court on Monday.
