A 13-year-old boy was shown on video Sunday placed in a chokehold by a Baton Rouge police officer.
Officers were called to a scene of kids allegedly harassing others and deescalated the situation, said Baton Rouge Police Chief Murphy Paul. About an hour later, they went back and detained two minors.
It’s unclear what led to the 12-year veteran office to place a chokehold on the teen, as seen in a video circulating on social media.

A video posted to social media showing a Louisiana police officer pinning a 13-year-old boy to the ground with his arm under his neck during an arrest has sparked an investigation.
In the video, which has been circulated on Twitter, an unidentified Baton Rouge, La., police officer is seen on the ground over a young boy with his arm around the boy s neck. In the background of the video onlookers can be heard saying He s a boy, get off of him! and You re choking him, according to CNN.
The clip also shows the officer then placing the teen in a sitting position and pulling his arms behind his back. The short video does not show what happened leading up to the arrest or after, CNN reported.
