Police Officers: How would you handcuff someone who has a phobia about being restrained or is severely claustrophobic?

Watching one of those Police 999 shows with my wife last night it occurred to me that if I was ever arrested, I'd struggle with having my hands handcuffed behind my back as I'm quite claustrophobic and freak out if I get my arms caught in a shirt. I'm not planning on being arrested but it got me wondering what would happen if someone starts having a panic attack or something when they're cuffed.
