A man put a police officer in a chokehold before a bystander came to his aid during a struggle at a New Jersey mall, police said.
A uniformed officer found the man on the second floor of the mall and asked him to leave multiple times but he refused to do so and “allegedly became confrontational,” eventually taking a fighting stance, police said. During the struggle, a bystander interceded and helped the officer escape the chokehold and get the man into handcuffs, police said. The officer was treated by county emergency medical personnel for minor injuries, police said.
