CCTV footage that captured the fatal shooting of a man who stabbed two people in Streatham last year (February 2) has been shown to the inquiry investigating his death.

20-year-old Sudesh Amman stole a knife from a High Road shop in Streatham, using it to stab two people in the area before he was shot and killed by armed surveillance officers.

Jurors at the inquiry were shown footage of Amman holding a knife and approaching armed officers who then fatally shot him.

Sudesh's attack, previously described as a "rampage", lasted around 62-seconds in total before the intervention of police. Both members of the public he stabbed survived.

In the CCTV footage and stills captured during the attack, members of the public could be seen scrambling for safety in shops as Amman sprinted along the busy street, before swiftly turning 180 degrees to face the officers with his knife raised at them.

He closed the short distance between them - reckoned to be around one metre (3ft) - within half a second, just as he was shot.

Footage then showed Amman spending around 10 seconds lying on his back and flailing his arms and legs wildly before he stopped moving. He was declared dead 90 minutes later.

One witness who filmed the incident from a 201 bus travelling south, muttered: "This ain't real, this ain't real," as Amman was shot in front of him.

A police officer scrambled to the scene could be heard shouting: "He's got a vest - move away."

Council-operated CCTV directly above Boots, where Amman was fatally shot, showed the moment a bomb disposal expert arrived on scene around 40 minutes later, patting down Amman's body and carefully removing his hoax suicide belt.

Amman had only been released from Belmarsh prison 10 days earlier after serving part of his 40-month sentence for terror offences, despite pleas from police and MI5 to detain him for longer over concerns he remained a danger to the public.

Jurors at Amman's inquest at the Royal Courts of Justice on Tuesday saw video compiled from CCTV cameras and public transport, police body-worn footage, and evidence from members of the public showing the terrorist's journey from his probation hostel in Streatham to the spot where he would be shot dead 30 minutes later.

One of the undercover officers described arriving on the scene and seeing Amman lying prone on the ground after being shot.

The officer, known only as BX114 to protect his identity, said: "He turned towards me, his eyes were rolled to the back into the head, his arms were stretched out.

"His body was convulsing.

"He had what seemed to me an IED (improvised explosive device). I saw three cylinders wrapped in tape and wires."

The inquest was adjourned until Wednesday.
