He then resisted arrest, according to RCMP, and several other people began to physically assault the officers, striking them repeatedly.

A group of people was observed to have filmed the assault with their cellphones, which officials said could be a recording of about 10 minutes.

After being hit several times, officers pulled out Tasers, which created distance. The Taser was not used, according to RCMP.
