Met Police release body-worn footage of Golders Green arrest

The Metropolitan Police has released footage from the body-worn cameras of two responding officers who detained the man suspected of stabbing two people in Golders Green, north London.

The clip appears to show the suspect walking towards the officers before the Taser was deployed.

Officers can be heard yelling "drop the knife" repeatedly before the suspect falls to the ground. They continue to repeat the instruction while the suspect is on the ground and as they work to restrain him.

Speaking to the press on Wednesday, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner Mark Rowley paid tribute to the officers "who were on the scene within a few minutes and whose actions undoubtedly prevented further injury and saved lives".
