A Manchester, New Hampshire, couple was arrested after assaulting a Lowes' loss prevention officer on Thursday night.
According to the Salem Police Department, loss prevention officers called the police after they were assaulted by a couple attempting to shoplift.
The woman was known to the loss prevention officers for previously attempting to shoplift.
The officers observed the woman select kitchen cabinet hardware, valued at approximately $140 and leave the store without paying for it.
The officer approached the woman outside and asked her to stop but she attempted to run away.
The officer attempted to grab her purse when the woman's husband ran up to the officer, pushed him, and threatened to "bang him out."
The loss prevention officer let the suspects go and called the Salem Police Department who located the vehicle.
