Approaching the situation understanding that they are a child and extremely emotional and then asking them to come talk to you in another room and explain what happened goes a long way. 

worst case scenario, staff trained with restraining children can come escort them to the other room and then you talk to the child, not arrest them and take them to a juvenile detention center. 

As I said kudis to you and the other educators who do it right 99.9% of the time; however, I'm not willing to assert the detention was unnecessary without additional details. Although Au doesn't think much of the them; I'd assume the threat of violence against a staff member played a role.
