Coolaroo, Melbourne: Footage of arrest as police taser knife-wielding man
Footage of a knife-wielding man being tasered and arrested in Melbourne's north has emerged. The video was filmed on Monday night as police detained the man, in his 40s, at a commercial precinct in Coolaroo. The arrest comes after knife attacks at Melbourne shopping centres over the weekend, one of which resulted in a man having his hand amputated. In this latest incident, a man is filmed calmly walking through a carpark as police shout at him to drop the knife. Police were initially called to Motto Drive about 6pm to reports of a man with a knife behaving erratically. The man is hit with a Taser after walking through the carpark and ignoring police. Picture: Facebook In the 85s clip – posted to social media – he walks cooly across the carpark as sirens blare. Police then taser him, and a member of the public kicks him as the police pile on top. A member of the public picks up the knife, which appears to be a wooden-handled hunting knife, about 20cm in length. A police spokesperson said officers were called to reports of an armed man behaving erratically outside a youth centre. A member of the public picked up the knife.
