Shocking moment police taser knifeman who was climbing on the front of people’s houses in Birmingham
Video footage has emerged of a knifeman being repeatedly tasered by armed police after clambering a house while screaming ‘Allah, allah!’.
In a clip shared on social media on Wednesday, the man can be seen carrying a rucksack while waving a bladed weapon above his head as he stands above a front door on a quiet residential street, believed to be in Birmingham.
He then lowers himself to the ground by stepping on an open window as a group of armed police officers and at least one service dog encircle him.
The individual is seen raising the knife behind his head as he takes a step towards the group of at least 10 policemen and women.
It is then that the force fire him with tasers, but they appear to initially hit his rucksack.
They eventually land a blow and the man falls to ground, knocking over wheelie bins as officers swoop in.

One can be heard yelling: ‘Drop the knife!’ repeatedly, before another shouts: ‘I’ve got him.’
The video then pans to show multiple police cars and extra officers in the street.
It is not clear where exactly the incident took place, but the video caption claims it was in Birmingham.
MailOnline contacted West Midlands Police for comment, but they refused to provide a statement.
A spokesperson insisted any updates or information on the incident would be released online.
