Dеfendants Herfurtb and Conger, policemen of the city of Flint, Michigan, appeal from a judgment in favоr of plaintiff King, the jury awarding him $450 on the first count and $200 on the second count of bis declaration. An amendеd *446 judgment was subsequently entered nunc fro tunc. Counsel filed a stipulation correcting the record submitted to us and stating that the verdict therein shown wаs not correct but that the judgment later entered and appealed from is in accordanсe with the correct verdict.
Plaintiff claims that while he was seated in the cafe, defendants arrested him without any cause whatsoever, and that while leading him out of the cafe, they used such forcе that they fractured or dislocated his right arm. Plaintiff was taken to a hospital where, after an anаesthetic was administered, his arm was reset. He remained in the hospital for over two days, and'then he was obliged to keep his arm in a cast for approximately two months. It would serve no useful purрose to detail all the facts of the case except so far as may be necessary to answer the questions involved as presented by defendants.
The questions and our discussion are as follows:
Question 1. Do allegations of a broken arm with proof establishing only a dislocated wrist support a verdict for personal injuries?
There is proof that some years prior to the arrest complained of plaintiff had suffered an injury to his right forearm. One doctor stated that there was a slight fracture at the end of the ulna after the alleged injury by defendants, but that he could not tell whether the fracture was a new or old one. Defendants moved to dismiss on the ground that no fracture was shown and the declaration did not allege a dislocated arm. The judge permitted plaintiff to amend so as to cover the injury consisting of a dislocatеd arm. Defendants objected to the amendment, stating that the objection was made for the sakе of the record and that the amendment was not timely made. They, however, asked for no con *447 tinuаnce. The very same evidence related to dislocation as well as to fracture. There can be no question but that the right arm was dislocated at the wrist. Defendants'were in no way prejudicеd by the court permitting the amendments. The verdict was in accordance with the allegations of the declaration as amended at the trial.
We shall consider together the only two other questions presented by appellants: .
Question 2. May a verdict in assault and battery be sustained against an officer (Conger) who was using no damaging force?
Question 3. May a verdict founded on malice and wantоnness be sustained against an officer (Herfurth) who had no previous acquaintance with the plaintiff аnd who exerted no force until after the plaintiff had resisted arrest and removal?
The jury answered in thе affirmative the special question submitted to them: Whether Conger had abused his discretion through malicе or wantonness or by a reckless indifference to the common dictates of humanity. Defendants сlaim that on the night in question about 1 a.m. they passed the cafe and that defendant Conger saw plaintiff standing in the aisle shaking his fist at someone and shouting and using profane language. When plaintiff asserted his innocence and resisted, defendant Herfurth, who also entered the cafe, assisted Conger and thеy both made the arrest. Plaintiff is a small man and both defendants are large, powerful and of athletiс build. Plaintiff claims after they took hold of him, Conger held him “down on one side,” or “held him pretty tight,” while Herfurth applied an “arm lock” on him. They both thus participated in the arrest and the assault. Plaintiff testified that he wаrned Herfurth that he was breaking his arm. In this connection he also stated:
*448 “Mr. Conger did not hurt his left arm. It was perfectly all right; still is.”
It was thus a joint assault even though Conger did not injure the left arm. Where there is concerted action toward a common end, both parties are liable for all acts' within the scope of the undertaking. Fisher v. Rumler, 239. Mich. 224. One count of the declaration is for assault; the other for false arrest or imprisonment including expenditures incidental to the trial and resulting in an acquittal by a jury. There was sufficient evidence to sustain the verdict on both counts. The record shows that plaintiff had been arrested twice before for drunkenness. Testimony for defendants indicated that plaintiff was making a disturbance in the presence of the officers,, that he resisted the arrest and fought with the officers, and that the dislocation of the wrist was due to either a former injury or a congenital weakness that recurred becаuse of plaintiff’s efforts to resist arrest. We are much impressed with the testimony for the defendants and were we the judges of the facts we might have come to a different conclusion from that of the jury. However, the verdict is supported by the testimony and there is no complaint that it is against the great preponderance of the evidence or that it is excessive.
Under the circumstances, we are constrained to affirm the judgment, with costs to plaintiff.
