What a tit. Glad to hear he was taken into custody and nobody seems to have been seriously harmed.

Credit to our Police force for taking him in alive, would have been shot dead in a few places.

One of the only times I am all for shoot to kill. This loon will be out free in a few ready to go again.

Yeah shoot to kill should always be an absolute last resort.

I’m always humbled by our emergency services when events like this happen .
Using lethal force in the UK has to be deemed "absolutely necessary" in terms of legislation. The usual test is one of "reasonable force" but the threshold is rightly much higher.

Great job today though. No one dead, few injured and one in custody.

Best case scenario in an event like this. Police did brilliantly.
