The incident happened around 10:50 a.m. on Wednesday after the Bay View High School teacher's aide got into an argument, student witnesses told CBS 58.
Video appears to show the man push the student on a table. He then wraps both his hands around the boy's neck and pushes him to the ground. The boy appears to struggle, tugging at the pocket on the man's button-up shirt, as the man holds him down with one hand on his neck.
The student was treated at a local hospital for minor injuries.
The Milwaukee Public School District told BuzzFeed News that it finds the incident "deeply disturbing."
"As soon as the school administration was notified of the incident, the Milwaukee Police Department was contacted and the staff member was removed from the classroom," it said. "We are cooperating with MPD. This staff member – who is a paraprofessional (teacher aide) – faces disciplinary action, including termination."
The investigation is ongoing. Police will present the completed case to the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office for charges.
