Scroll down to watch the video.
A video uploaded to social media showed the arrest of a man who tried to fight off Police officers.

The encounter ended with one Police officer appeared to be in a bad state of exhaustion and struggling to breathe.

It was not immediately clear when was the incident happened and why.

The 1.29 minutes video was uploaded to Facebook yesterday Saturday 10 by Angelica Fifita.

“I went with my daughter to the ‘Una’eva petrol station in Kolofo’ou to get gas….I was surprised to see the boy appeared. Why was this people were allowed to leave the prison, people are concerned about this kind of people,” it says in the caption accompanying the video (Translated).

A person is overheard in the video saying the man was a prisoner escapee but we could not be able to confirm this.

Another person can be overheard during the encounter calling the man’s name as Maka.

 

Sometimes when a business is growing, it needs a little help.

Right now Kaniva News provides a free, politically independent, bilingual news service for readers around the world that is absolutely unique. We are the largest New Zealand-based Tongan news service, and our stories reach Tongans  wherever they are round the world. But as we grow, there are increased demands on Kaniva News for translation into Tongan on our social media accounts and for the costs associated with expansion. We believe it is important for Tongans to have their own voice and for Tongans to preserve their language, customs and heritage. That is something to which we are strongly committed. That’s why we are asking you to consider sponsoring our work and helping to preserve a uniquely Tongan point of view for our readers and listeners.
