As the officer tried to place the man in custody he pulled away. The officer was pushed down a set of stairs and had coffee splashed on him.
Throughout the struggle, the man had a bag hanging from his neck. As the officer and the man jostled a loaded firearm and a set of handcuffs fell out of the bag.
