Which is what happened in this case as well

Speaking in Darwin on Tuesday afternoon, Assistant Commissioner Travis Wurst said the man, believed to be from Alice Springs, “was placing items down the front of [his] clothing” when he was confronted by security guards.

“One of the security guards was assaulted and there were two police officers, who were in plain clothes at the time, in the supermarket who rendered assistance to the security guards,” he said.

“The male behaved rather aggressively and was placed onto the ground by those police officers, he was later identified as losing consciousness.”
