This video shows the dramatic moment an attempted murder suspect was tasered and bundled into a police van by 20 officers following a tense stand-off in east London during which he allegedly shouted: 'I am your king.'
Before tasering him and knocking him to the ground, police are shown spraying the man with CS gas - which has no effect.
After firing the taser, they rush to surround the man, who has dropped his weapon, and appear to secure him to a stretcher while he shouts.
Neighbours in the Hackney street, alerted by the noise, rush out of their homes and express concern for the man, demanding to know what has happened.
The video was filmed from a balcony overlooking De Beauvoir Crescent by a neighbour who has asked not to be named. It appears to show the man confronting police with a weapon.
"Three police came running up and then this guy came," he told the Standard. "It looked like he was chasing them, not the other way around.
I didn’t know they had ‘bath salts’ in the UK.
King Arthur returns only to be taxed.
That could be a story.
And an Undead Thread if nick agrees?
looks like a knife wielding thug to me!!
Sure.
Errr...tazed.
It was Excalibur!
hey it just struck me...he could have been righteously POed..because they were parking in his spot?
Same kind of people, same kind of primitive and uncivilized behavior the world over. Blacks and muslims. A pattern?
Good grief. Look at all the bobbies. Had they been armed, two could’ve taken him down.
not high calibre enough..to fight off those guys
So the new UT will be “King ArthKzzert and the ka-zot of the run table”? (Needs work to make it click. Suvgestions welcomed.)
You can't say that. It's not politically correct these days to call a thug, a thug.
The proper term response would be 'knife wielding person of color'.
If it had been in the U.S. the police would have pumped a dozen rounds into him and that would have been it.
“Wot’s this? You’re our King? Right...” *zap!*
And thus King Arthur’s return was foiled yet again!

a clean semi articulate knife wielding somali of color...screaming ooga booga akbar
Two? Only would have taken one to shoot him.
I am your king!
Taze of Thrones?
