Exegesis
The participle epilabomenoi {ἐπιλαβόμενοί | epilabómenoi} ‘having taken hold of’ functions adverbially, coordinating temporally with the main verb egagon {ἤγαγον | ḗgagon} ‘they brought,’ which moves the narrative subject to a new location.
In context — Acts 17:19
And having taken hold of him, they brought him to the Areopagus , saying, “Are we able to know what this new teaching is that is being spoken by you?”
