(CBS) – A Hammond, Ind. K-9 police officer is under investigation because of how he handled his dog, an incident was caught on video.

It happened Wednesday during a traffic stop. The officer and his dog were called in to search the vehicle for possible drugs.

A resident shot video of the officer abusing the dog — striking him with a leash and hanging the canine in the air.

“The Department has observed behavior by the K-9 handler that appears to be inconsistent with acceptable training guidelines,” the department said in a written statement.

The officer  has been placed on administrative leave.
