A spokesperson said: “We are appealing for witnesses who may have observed a male member of the public and up to 6 police officers close to police vehicles, including a police cell van around this time.
“Body Worn Video footage received from the PSNI shows there were a number of members of the public in the vicinity at the time who may have seen the interaction between police and this person.
