As McStravog was being taken to an ambulance, police said Robert McMonagle, 60, of Norristown, Pennsylvania, arrived and tried to push past a uniformed officer to confront the individuals McStravog had been fighting with. Police said McMonagle hit an officer in the chest and was arrested. Police said McMonagle and McStravog are relatives.

Police said as officers tried to take McMonagle into custody, McStravog got out of the ambulance. According to police, both men began fighting with officers, who had to use "physical force" to subdue both to take them into custody.

Court documents show McMonagle put his hands under his body in an attempt to avoid arrest.

Both were charged with aggravated assault and resisting arrest. McMonagle was also charged with disorderly conduct, while McStravog faces obstruction and simple assault charges.

Two Sea Isle City officers were injured during the incident. One was taken to a hospital for additional treatment.
