Grip-and-propel arrest
To frog-march someone is to force them forward by gripping their arms from behind, often with their arms pinned up against their back.
The term evokes the awkward, hopping gait this produces.
Police frog-march suspects; security guards frog-march troublemakers out of buildings: He was frog-marched off the premises.
