A special task force stormed the headquarters of Georgia's opposition party to arrest leader Nika Melia on February 22.

Footage shows the incident where members of Melia's party have barricaded a door shut with objects found in their building, with additional shots from the other side where police are attempting to break down the doors.

Police are able to eventually arrest Melia and frogmarch him out of the building.

The arrest and police presence met opposition where small scuffles were seen breaking out.

Melia is accused by a Tbilisi court of organising "mass violence" in 2019 during anti-government protests.

A special task force arrested Nika Melia at the party office. Before arrest, the law enforcers sprayed the so-called pepper spray in the room.

The special operation started at dawn. Prior to Melia's arrest, law enforcement officers evacuated the party office, where opposition parties and civil activists had been defending Nika Melia for several days.
