Baltimore police officials are investigating a photo found posted on social media of what appears to be an officer asleep in his patrol car.

The photo was shared with police on Monday after it was found circulating on Instagram, police say. It appears to show the officer sleeping, and was taken Monday morning at East Eager and Washington streets.

"We are looking into the circumstances of the picture. What we have seen raises serious concerns about public safety, officer health and wellness, and officer performance," police spokesman Matt Jablow said.

Officials have yet to comment on when or where this incident took place.
