Officers ‘very rough’ during incident A witness said: “I don’t know exactly what happened but the guy put his hands up. “The policeman in the suit was very rough, he put his arms behind his back. Then he was on the ground.” Another witness said the man was struggling a little but only because the officers had put handcuffs on him. The man was then searched by police before being taken away by a police car at 2.50pm. Police say the response was in connection with anti-social behaviour in the area.
