Video shows white man with hand around Black man’s neck as he calls 911 over bike

The man, speaking into the phone, accuses the man he is holding of stealing a bicycle out of a friend's yard

Milwaukee police say they are investigating a viral social media video depicting a white man with one of his hands around the neck of a frightened Black man while calling 911 about a neighbor's stolen bicycle.

A police spokesperson on Monday said officers know the 62-year-old white man's identity but didn't release his name, saying the investigation into the case was ongoing and that its findings would be forwarded to state prosecutors for review of potential charges.
