Moment Knife Crime Cops Chase And Nab Drug Dealer At Taser Point
This is the moment the Nottingham Police’s knife-crime team chases and arrests a suspected drug dealer at taser point.
The dramatic arrest was filmed in the village of Bramcote in the English county of Nottinghamshire.
The police said on social media: “Nottinghamshire Police’s knife crime team can be seen chasing and capturing a suspect at Taser-point in dramatic footage released to mark the team notching up more than 200 arrests during the first half of this year.

“The footage, which also shows officers seizing a knife and a Taser in a separate incident following a report of a street fight, shines a light on the proactive day-to-day work of the hard-working knife crime team.”
The police chased the suspect after stopping a car with occupants suspected of dealing Class A drugs, with drug dealing often going hand-in-hand with knife crime.
The man tried to run across the busy A52, but the pursuing knife crime team quickly arrested him on the central reservation.
