This is the moment a men wrestled with police officers while being arrested at a popular camping spot.
Footage caught on a police body cam shows Andrew Wayne Jones of Bala Road, Wrexham, verbally abusing officers and resisting arrest. The video was played in Caernarfon Crown Court as he appeared for sentencing after being charged with resisting arrest.
The 33-year-old was initially arrested on suspicion of assault at a Shell Island campsite in July this year, but no charges were brought against him. In the video, Jones can be heard calling officers "12-year-olds" and "b******" as they wrestle him to the ground, WalesOnline reports.

A sentencing hearing held in Caernarfon on October 26 heard one officer sustained suspected broken ribs as a result of the altercation. The video shows Jones emerging from a tent on the campsite at around 4.30am on July 18.
Officers can be heard telling Jones that he is being arrested on suspicion of assault, at which point he walks away from officers and can be heard shouting "F*** off, f*** off, f*** you, f*** you, you ain't arresting me you little d*******."
At the time of his arrest, Jones was subject to a suspended sentence order which had been imposed in May last year, after he was involved in a brawl in a Llangollen pub in December 2018. Judge Her Honour Nicola Saffman told the defendant he had a "poor record" pointing out his 17 previous convictions for 27 offences - including a history of resisting arrest.
After the video was played into court, the Judge told Jones: "I am sure you're thoroughly ashamed and embarrassed having seen what I've just seen. Instead of complying with the police who were doing their best to accommodate you, you were shouting, swearing "you're not f******* arresting me."
"You were calling the female officers "b******," calling the male officers "12-year-olds" and "children." You flailed your arms around, you were irate, and you're a man of some size and some strength and it took all of these officers to control you and get you to comply with them."
Judge Saffman told the court the sentencing guidelines "do not come close" to providing an appropriate punishment and decided to sentence Jones outside of these recommendations. He was sentenced to a high level community order including 35 sessions of the Probation Service's Thinking Skills programme and an alcohol abstinence tag for 120 days.
He was also ordered to pay £500 by way of compensation to the police officer injured during the arrest and £114 in court costs.
