THIS is the terrifying moment a thug shot a cop with a crossbow after stabbing his neighbour and threatening his partner with a knife.
Jason King launched into a gruesome rampage after rowing with Alistair Mahwuto in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire.

The 55-year-old stabbed the victim, 63, in the stomach before he was captured on doorcam footage still holding the knife.
King claimed he believed he could speak to the neighbour’s dog Rocco and threatened to set the animal on the family.
He ranted: “Touch my f***ing car again…my dog’s going to kill you in a minute.
“Rocco’s going to rip you to shreds.”
When police were scrambled to the quiet street, grinning King stormed out of his house with a crossbow.
Horrifying footage shows him prowling with the large weapon before firing at one of the officers, who suffered a significant injury to his leg.
He then threatened a second cop and tried to shoot a police dog but thankfully missed.
The rampage only came to an end when an armed officer fired one shot at King in a park – hitting him in the stomach.
King was taken to hospital with potentially life-changing injuries, and was released ten days later and charged.
He has now been jailed for nine years after pleading guilty to GBH with intent, GBH, affray, possession of a weapon and possession of a bladed article in a public place.
Two other charges, criminal damage and cultivation of cannabis, were left to lie on file.
Amersham Law Courts heard the horror unfolded on May 10 last year following a “long-running” dispute between King and his neighbour Alistair.
The victim’s partner called 999 begging for help as King waved a knife outside their front door after stabbing Alistair.
Police then swooped on the street where King, who had fled back to his home, began firing from an upstairs window.
Prosecutor Graham Smith said: “(An officer) looked around, he saw the defendant was now exiting the address, he noticed he was now crouching down as he ran and the defendant was grinning.”
The thug blasted PC Curtis Foster in the leg – causing a two to three-centimetre wound near to an artery.
King made his way to a nearby park where the officer, who has since made a full recovery, managed to run to escape.
An armed officer then shot at King after he refused to drop his weapon.
PC Foster managed to make a full recovery from his injuries, while Alistair was treated for a stab wound.
In a victim impact statement, he said the horror had “affected me more than I would have ever imagined”.
He also told how he is now debating moving away from the area where he lived for 30 years.
Of his injury, he added: “The doctor said to me that if it had been a few centimetres higher, it could have been fatal”.
The officer shot by King said the incident had “changed my outlook on life a bit”, and that he feels more “protective” about his colleagues now.
Following the horror, a mandatory referral was made to the Independent Office for Police Conduct.
The watchdog concluded their probe in November and found no wrong-doing.
Senior Investigating Officer Detective Inspector Nick Hind, of Thames Valley Police’s Major Crime Unit, said: “The courage of our officers in dealing with this incident was second to none.
“On what was a warm spring evening, King undertook some extreme violence, stabbing a neighbour before arming himself with a crossbow and going back outside, where he posed a considerable threat to the local community.
“King was an extremely dangerous man, who posed a significant threat to police, other emergency services and members of the community.
“He had already stabbed a neighbour before shooting at our officers, and I believe the actions of all the officers responding to this incident prevented the potential of mass casualty event.”
