A police officer in Melbourne, Fla. was attacked by a crowd while attempting to make an arrest over the weekend.
Officials say the office approached 22-year-old Phoenix Low about an ordinance violation on New Haven Avenue when the man became combative, according to WESH-TV.
As the officer tried to place Law in handcuffs, a crowd surrounded the officer and began yelling, striking and pulling at the officer and the suspect.
The officer then used "less-lethal force" on the crowd, according to officials.
Low was able to struggle free from the officer, but was soon recaptured.
He was charged with battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting with violence, resisting without violence and open container of alcohol.
Police say this is the second time that a crowd has tried to interfere with an arrest in the past two weeks.
