What would I call someone who restrains a person and holds them back?
I'm writing a short story, and one of the characters gets held back by the villain's assistant. I'm imagining him being held and restrained as if he is being arrested and handcuffed. I think the word for it would be a control hold?
Here is the sentence:
"Ezekiel only had a second to stare in shock and panic before he felt someone hold him back and force his hands behind his back, as if he was being arrested. He tried to struggle his way out, but they had a strong hold on him. He didn’t even have to turn his head to know who his ___ was.
What should I put in the blanks here?
(i'm a bit nervous to post this because this probably seems worse than it actually is i swear it stays pg)
