Judo Throw Ends Hostage Situation - Man With Knife Taken Down
- 5 years ago
Hero SWAT officer saves woman held hostage by agitated knifeman with dramatic martial arts throw. This dramatic video appears to show the moment a hero cop disarms a knife-man who was holding a woman hostage - with a brutal martial arts move. The clip has been widely shared in China, where police chiefs have praised the quick-thinking SWAT officer. In mobile footage seemingly from the crime scene, a terrified woman is held captive by a man wielding a huge meat cleaver in a hotel lobby.
He is shown facing off with a group of officers holding riot shields.
It is not clear what his demands were, but the agitated man is seen holding the woman with his left arm and threatening cops with the blade.
As the situation appears to escalate, a SWAT officer runs at the suspect, grabbing the arm with the knife and throwing the man to the ground using his own body weight.
The suspect also appears to have his arm broken in the process.
The SWAT officers and the other armed police at the scene rush over to subdue and cuff the hostage taker, bringing the tense stand-off to an end.
The woman who was taken hostage also appears to be unharmed as the video ends.
Official police accounts on Chinese social media have been sharing the clip and praising the SWAT officer's action.
No further details were given about the case.
