RALEIGH, N.C. -- The officers involved in a violent arrest last week will not face charges, according to the Wake County District Attorney.

• Video of Raleigh Police officers using batons to try to subdue Frederick Hall went viral.
• In the video, the suspect can be seen swinging at the officers.

The video of Frederick Hall getting into a violent confrontation with police went viral over the weekend.

District Attorney Lorrin Freeman released a statement Monday evening saying:

"While this incident is unfortunate and troubling to watch, law enforcement officers are authorized under the law to use force to stop an attack when necessary. In this case, officers attempted to subdue Mr. Hall by using a Taser prior to using other force. The actions of the officers involved in this incident do not rise to the level of criminal assault."

Monday evening, body camera footage of the incident was also released.

Mayor Nancy McFarlane says of the footage:

“Each camera angle gives a different perspective. I encourage people to be patient as the police review the footage. Our police officers have very challenging roles. When they arrive on the scene they have limited information and must react quickly, considering not only the safety of those involved in the incident but the safety of the overall community and their own safety as well.”

The Raleigh Police Protective Association also held a press conference Monday morning about the incident.

Officials didn’t mince words. They said they believe the six officers responded to the situation at Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Garner Road the exact way they were supposed to.

"This situation did not have to happen. If this individual had listened to police officers there would not have been a violent occurrence like it happened," said Rick Armstrong with RPPA.

In the video captured by a witness, 44-year-old Frederick Hall can be seen swinging at officers before being taken down with a Taser and several baton strikes.

Hall is charged with four felony counts of assault on a government official and resisting arrest. He could face more than eight years in jail.

This was not Hall's first run-in with law enforcement. He ended up in the hospital with a criminal charge after another fight with Raleigh Police back in 2016. However, those charges were eventually dropped.

The association says the force officers applied to Hall during his arrest was necessary. According to police, Hall tried to kick and bite the officers while he was on the ground.

Hall’s family has been vocal about his mental illness since the encounter but the association says officers can’t diagnose mental health issues in the spur of the moment.

“These officers don’t know when someone has a mental condition and when someone does have mental conditions, it does not give them the right to assault a police officer,” said Armstrong. “It’s not acceptable --  whether you have a mental condition or not -- it’s not acceptable to assault and resist a police officer.”

On Monday, a judge ordered Hall be treated for an evaluation before his next court appearance.

Union officials say all six officers remain on the job and are mentally and physically okay.
