Police arrested two men outside 16 Spring St., Saturday at 1:29 a.m. after responding to the residence for a report of a disturbance.
And one is facing charges of assault and battery on a police officer and resisting arrest, after police had to use pepper spray to subdue him at the scene.
According to the police report, responding officers found one man,Dennis Hernandez, 17 of 52 Greely St., Providence R.I., standing outside the Spring Street residence yelling at people on the second-floor balcony.
Officers told him to move along, but he refused, and was placed in handcuffs.
While an officer was cuffing Hernandez, another officer saw Daniel Martin, 20, of 37 Arthur St. in Beverly walking up behind the arresting officer. He told Martin to stop, and Martin started yelling that police had no right to arrest Hernandez.
With Martin yelling, police reported that residents were starting to stand outside on porches and watch the incident. Police then attempted to arrest Martin, and told him to put his hands behind his back. But he swung his arms forward, hit two officers and then wrapped his arms around a fence picket.
Police then pepper-sprayed Martin, and took him to the ground, where he continued to fight with them. He was sprayed by another officer and then placed in handcuffs.
Martin then allegedly slammed his head into a stone wall, according to the police report, and asked police how they were going to explain his injuries. He was placed in a cruiser and continued yelling and remaining uncooperative during the booking process.
Martin faces charges of assault and battery on a police officer, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest. Hernandez faces charges of disturbing the peace and resisting arrest.
