BAYTOWN, Texas (KTRK) -- An internal affairs investigation has been launched against two Baytown police officers seen on video arresting two men who were questioning why the officers were arresting a black man.

The incident happened at the Baytown Market store Tuesday in the 2900 block of Market Street.

Officers pulled over a 23 year old black man for a traffic violation. When officers handcuffed the man, two people in front of the store began to make comments about what was happening.

In the video, an officer can be seen crossing the parking lot to the store's front and throwing a white man on the ground, then kicking him in the head.
