The incident is believed to have taken place at around 9pm on Sunday, May 6, in Stenhousemuir’s Lido Park.
Videos showing a nesting swan being violently attacked later appeared on social media, upsetting many users.
After the matter was brought to their attention, police issued an appeal for witnesses, branding the behaviour “completely unacceptable”.
Now they have confirmed that a 29-year-old man has been charged in connection with the incident and will be the subject of a report to the Procurator Fiscsal.
