He will be 'subsequently charged with struggling and and provoking the officers.

Didnt realise Lt Colonel's (Police Superitendents) even went on patrol....With this knowlege I know I can sleep safer at night...

Like someone else mentioned his crime here was provoking a police officer, if the guy had quitened down I doubt he would even have been arrested unless there were injuries.
