frogmarching
Compelled forward movement
Frogmarching is forcing someone to walk by gripping them from behind and pushing them forward, typically with their arms pinned.
Police and security personnel frogmarch uncooperative individuals: They frogmarched him out of the building.
The image suggests the person's helpless, somewhat comical gait—arms out, legs shuffling—like a frog being carried.
