Does Violent Tendencies In A Child Indicate Anti-personality Disorder?

we have a 5 year old male child in our neighborhood who is out of control. he walks into our homes and when asked to leave he walks away and moves to another part of the house. he has shown violent tendencies with no regard for anyone of any age. my dog curls up into a fetal position when he sees this kid. He charged and hit my dog two years ago at the age of 3. The list goes on and on, I ve never seen his parents discipline him. He has spit on my neighbors windows, took a bat and hit it on the ground hard enough to chip the aluminum, threaten to hit someone with it. The list goes on. I suspect he has an anti-personality disorder. Your thoughts.

Thanks for the query.
Yes it may be some behaviour disorder.
Temper tantrums, ADHD may be the reason.
Child might have suffered or seen such a voilence at home.
So he thinks that voilence is the only way to achive the things he wanted.
Get him to psychiatrist.
