Tarrant appears to be wearing dark coloured cargo pants, an ammunition vest and a helmet.
The officer can then be seen rolling Tarrant on to his front, while his hands are handcuffed behind his back.
The camera then pans again and two officers are seen running along the road.
The new footage comes after an earlier video showed two police officers descending on Tarrant’s vehicle.
The officers could be seen pointing their firearms inside the open front passenger door and dragging Tarrant from the car. They then tussle with him on the sidewalk.
Police believe Tarrant is responsible for Friday’s Christchurch massacres — and allege he travelled between two packed mosques and gunned down 50 people.
He was arrested 36 minutes after the initial attack at the Al Noor Mosque.
Police Commissioner Mike Bush said Tarrant did not give himself up willingly when he was found.
Bush listened to live audio of the arrest and said Tarrant was “non compliant”.
He also acknowledged the bravery of the staff who arrested Tarrant, and other frontline officers.
Tarrant, 28, appeared in a Christchurch District Court on Saturday, and has been charged with murder. More charges are likely to be laid.

A Facebook vice president said fewer than 200 people saw the Christchurch massacre while it was being streamed live on the site. But the video was viewed about 4,000 times before Facebook removed it, he added. Countless more views occurred in the hours afterward, as copies of the video proliferated more quickly than online platforms like Facebook could remove them.
Social media and video sharing sites have faced criticism for being slow to respond to the first-ever live-streamed mass shooting, recorded from the first-person perspective of the shooter, the camera seemingly mounted atop the killer's helmet. But executives from the sites say they have been doing what they can to combat the spread of the video, one possibly designed for an age of virality.
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says she has been in contact with Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg to ensure the video is entirely scrubbed from the platform.

And some websites accused of hosting footage of the attacks, such as 4chan and LiveLeak, have found themselves blocked by the country's major Internet providers. 'We've started temporarily blocking a number of sites that are hosting footage of Friday's terrorist attack in Christchurch,' Telstra said on Twitter. 'We understand this may inconvenience some legitimate users of these sites, but these are extreme circumstances and we feel this is the right thing to do.'
