Man collared for hugging police officer

A man who thought that a police officer coming to arrest him needed a hug may face assault charges.
When the intoxicated 21-year-old from Iowa, USA, was stopped by a police officer he ran up to him and spread out his arms in a bid to give him a hug.

The officer said he told the man to "get back" and put his hands up in the air, but the jolly suspect continued to move towards the policeman and wrapped his arms around him.

His hug was obviously not appreciated, however, and he was handcuffed.
