TOPEKA —Law enforcement authorities are investigating a video that depicts animal cruelty.

On Thursday, several citizens informed members of the Topeka Police Department of a video posted on a juvenile’s Facebook page, according to Lt. Aaron Jones.

The video depicts a person throwing a cat in the air. When the cat comes down it hits the windshield of a car. The video is short, it leaves a lot to the imagination, but it is disturbing none the less, according to Jones.

Detectives were able to locate the juvenile and determine the video was of people other than the poster and the event occurred in another state.

Investigators were attempting to contact the proper authorities outside of Kansas.
