  That's helpful, Sarah, and will certainly provide some context to the topic.
  The phrase: "The person suffering physical injury" is quite important, because the arrestor could effect an arrest to prevent a person suffering physical injury, among other things.
  
  In the case concerned, I believe the arrestor may have caused physical injury after retireving the item. To hold someone to the ground for an hour, sitting on them, for something so trivial, does not come under effecting an arrest.
  
  Suppose that person suffered heart failure?
