London police said they were made aware of an altercation in the parking lot that was caught on camera and posted on social media.
Officer Hobie Daugherty with the London Police Department said this kind of behavior is not acceptable.

Police said they arrested the minor and took them to the Breathitt County Regional Juvenile Detention Center. The minor was charged with strangulation (1st degree) and assault (4th degree).
Daugherty said if you see anything happening that you think could be illegal or dangerous, contact your local authorities.

According to police more charges and arrests could be on the way.
