For legal reasons I cannot mention too much here, but myself mainly, and a colleague have been accused of assault. Basically in a nutshell, we assisted the local super store with an aggressive and almost certainly drugged up male. In some respects it was quite funny, the male was really throwing a hissy fit, rather than trying to kick off. Anyway, after around ten minutes, I followed the male on foot back towards the multi-storey car park and he was getting aggressive with my colleague. At that point I decided that it would be prudent to frog march the twat back to the super store. A papa uniform was en route.
So it was quite simple, I approached spun him around by the back of the left shoulder, then locked up his arms and frog marched him back towards the store. He complained about having a bad arm, so I released some pressure. It was pretty much momentum propelling us forward, so the lock was not damaging, or the potential to be. Inside the foyer I put the male on the deck rather gently, and then just put my hands on his shoulders front side up with minimal pressure. The police officers arrived shortly afterwards, so I hauled him up with my wrists under his armpits and told him to spread his arms. The arresting officers had no issue and they thanked me for the assistance later. Now though the male as mentioned is trying to press charges. The only thing I can think off is when I spun him around, just perhaps that injured arm may be true. Could I be done for a preexisting injury. I did not beat him up, so I don't quite get what the issue is. Could I have a police officers opinion here please?
