MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) - The New Hampshire Attorney General’s office and Manchester police are investigating officers’ use of force in arresting several men at a bar.
Police tasered two people and arrested four following a fight at the Bonfire Restaurant & Country Bar early Sunday.
A video posted online shows four police officers swearing at and tackling three men who appear to be resisting arrest.
Manchester police said in a statement Tuesday that the video “shows how quickly a dynamic situation can unfold.” The statement said there are occasions when an officer must use force to arrest a combative suspect.
Manchester Mayor Joyce Craig said the city’s committed to getting all the facts.
