The person filming the arrest could not believe what he was witnessing and screamed at officers to let the little boy go. 

'What ya'll doing?' the man asked.

'Guess! Take a guess what i'm doing!' the police officer responded.

'He looks like a baby to me. I don't know what you're doing. So what's going on then?' the man continued to question.

'He's stealing stuff. If he breaks into your house…' another officer said before being cut off. 

'Nah man! What he stole a bag of chips so you gotta treat him like a cold-blooded f**king criminal?' the person filming responded in disbelief.

'I know what I just came up and see!' the man behind the camera stated. 'I know what I just came up and see!'

He asked what the youngster had done and upon being told he had stolen a snack even offered to pay for the item if it meant officers would him go.

'If he stole some chips, I'll pay for them. I'll pay for them! Leave him alone! He's a kid!', the man demanded.

The entire incident has also sparked a furious reaction online with many social media users outraged about heavy-handed response by police on the young child.

'They traumatized that little boy over a bag of chips? Unbelievable,' wrote Jeanne Boudreau.

'Talk it over with him, take him to his parents, and have some ****ing compassion...' wrote another user.

'Not saying there shouldn't be any consequences but when people steal food it's because they're hungry. Feed him and address the stealing a different way than putting him in cuffs smh,' added another.

The incident is now under investigation by the Syracuse police Department who released a statement on the matter.

'We are aware of a video being shared on social media involving several of our Officers and juveniles accused of stealing from a store on the City's northside. The incident, including the Officers' actions and body-worn cameras, are being reviewed. 

'There is some misinformation involving this case. The juvenile suspected of larceny was not placed in handcuffs. He was placed in the rear of a patrol unit where he was directly brought home. Officers met with the child's father and no charges were filed.'
