This is the shocking moment police shoot dead a double amputee as he tried to run away from officers on his stumps.
Anthony Lowe Jr, 36, was shot at least eight times by three cops at the Huntington Park Police Department in California, US, on Thursday after he tried to jump out his wheelchair.
According to police, the dad-of-two allegedly just stabbed a member of the public with a butcher knife and was trying to flee the scene.
Two officers chased him as video footage shows Mr Lowe standing outside his wheelchair next to cops holding a butcher knife in his hand.
He quickly tries to turn away from the officers and make a run for it.
According to police when a second police car arrives, a third cop gets out and tasers Mr Lowe but it was “ineffective.”
But within 15 seconds of the third officer arriving on the scene officers had fired multiple shots into Mr Lowe’s chest as he laid on the ground.
