Body-worn footage of the moment a terror suspect was tasered and pinned to the ground by police after two Jewish men were stabbed in Golders Green has been released.

The video, released by the London Metropolitan Police, shows a 45-year-old Somali-born British national holding a knife as he advances towards police officers.

Two officers fired Tasers, and the suspect, who was wearing a blue puffer jacket and a rucksack, eventually collapsed to the ground.

They could be heard urgently shouting, “get down on the ground” and “take the Taser”.

Once the suspect was on the video, one of the officers knelt on top of him, while the other continued to use his Taser, and more police surrounded them.

The officer, still on his feet, repeatedly yelled “drop the knife”, “drop the f****** knife” while the suspect struggled on the floor.

While the suspect was pinned face down in the middle of the road, the officers appeared to aggressively jostle him, sounding increasingly panicked.

A plain-clothed man, possibly a member of the Jewish community security team, eventually wrenched the knife from the suspect’s hand.

The suspect then had his hands handcuffed behind his back while still lying in the road, and was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.
