CCTV shown in court shows the moment terrorist Sudesh Amman was gunned down by undercover cops after stabbing people in London.

The 20-year-old was being trailed by police on February 2, 2020 after his release from Belmarsh prison 10 days earlier and stole a carving knife from a shop on Streatham High Road in South London.

He then charged down the street, stabbing two people at random who survived their injuries, jurors at the Royal Courts of Justice were told at the inquest on Tuesday (August 10).

In total his stabbing rampage lasted 62 seconds and people fled in terror before Amman was shot, as shown in the footage, the Mirror reports.

Police bodyworn video then shows the moment he is shot and collapses onto the pavement.

Jonathan Hough QC said: "He falls to the ground when he is struck by bullets."

"As he lies on the floor, he is initially waving his arms and his legs, apparently wildly, and then in smaller movements before he lies motionless," Mr Hough said.

Neil Sheldon QC, acting for the Metropolitan Police, said Amman was closing on the police officers with the knife and was just 3ft away when they opened fire.

London Ambulance paramedics pronounced Amman dead at 3.24pm.

The inquest previously heard how Amman was deemed to be "one of the most dangerous individuals" that police and MI5 teams had investigated.

There was also intelligence that he maintained an extremist mindset, wanted to carry out a knife attack in the future, and pledged allegiance to the leader of so-called Islamic State.

Amman, raised in Coventry and Birmingham before moving to Harrow in north-west London, and who was of Sri Lankan descent, spent his short time after being released from custody living in a bail hostel in Streatham.

In December 2018, Amman was jailed after admitting 13 terror offences including sharing online terror videos.

He was said to have told his girlfriend to kill her "infidel" parents and showed her videos of people being beheaded.

The inquest continues.
