This is like saying 'and that jerk did it'. It shows you are very angry. You are mad at what someone did. It links their bad action to something else.
This is different from 〜やがった. Use 〜やがって to connect a bad action to what happened next. For example, "He ran away, and I had trouble." Use 〜やがった to just say someone did a bad thing. For example, "He ran away." Both show you are angry. Another similar phrase is 〜てやがる. It means almost the same thing.
Don't use this when you talk about yourself. Don't use it for people you respect. This phrase shows strong anger. It is only for others' actions. It is used in very informal talks. It is used when you are fighting.
Use this when you want to show strong anger. It is like saying a bad word. You say it at the end of a sentence. It shows you are very upset with someone's action.
