Police say officers used 'several tactics to detain the man' who was being antagonistic
GMP have issued a statement after video footage appeared on social media of a young man being struck by an officer. In the clip, the man is being pinned to the ground by three officers. One appears to punch and then slap his head three times.
The same man then repeatedly ignored instructions from police to move away from them as they made the arrest. On several occasions he moved towards the officers and eventually a female officer who felt threatened by him used a pava spray to make him retreat. In a statement, Greater Manchester Police said: "At around 7.45pm last night , officers were called to reports of an altercation at a pub in Bolton town centre. After arriving, officers arrested a 34-year-old man on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offence.
