Hi, I'm trying to come up with the best translation for this. Shaking herself free? It appears in the following, thanks for your help!

Åtalspunkt 2, Våldsamt motstånd
XXXXXXX har genom att kränga med kroppen, slita i sina armar samt sparka med benen satt sig till motvärn för att hindra ordningsvakterna YYYYYY och ZZZZZZZZ när de skulle avlägsna henne samt därefter då de hade gripit henne.

To writhe and struggle

'Kränga med kroppen' is actually a legal term in Swedish. My English suggestion covers what it means but I'm not sure if there's an equivalent actual legal term.
