THIS is the dramatic moment brave cops tackle a knife-wielding murderer just minutes after he had gone on the rampage, leaving one man dead and a woman injured.
Antonio Tibere, 25, prowled Handsworth in Birmingham three days before Christmas last year before launching the random attacks.

Shocking footage shows him walking up to his first victim, a 26-year-old woman, on Soho Road just after 3am on December 22.
He is seen lunging at her with an 8ins blade while clutching a can in his other hand.
She survived the attack but was left badly hurt.
Just seven minutes later, he struck again when he stabbed Krystian Debski.
The 35-year-old managed to run away but later died in hospital from his injuries.
Three minutes after the fatal stabbing, Tibere knifed his final victim, a 50-year-old man.
Tibere also threatened another man with his large knife but the terrified passer-by fled before being attacked.
Following the three stabbings, Tibere livestreamed himself on Facebook Live where he delivered the chilling warning: “I will kill anyone who comes across me.”
Armed police scrambled to the scene 15 minutes after the first attack.
Police bodycam footage shows him being bundled to the ground where he is handcuffed next to the blood-stained knife.
An officer is heard telling his colleague on the radio: “It’s an 8ins blade and it’s covered in blood.”
Tibere, of West Bromwich, pleaded guilty to murder and admitted two charges of attempted murder.
He also admitted possessing a bladed article and possessing cocaine.
Last Thursday he was jailed for life at Woolwich Crown Court and ordered to spend at least 30 years in prison.
His two surviving victims were left with life-changing injuries following the random attacks.
The Facebook Live was crucial evidence along with DNA taken from Tibere’s knife which linked him to the three victims.
CCTV footage also proved to be vital as it captured his movements and all three attacks.
Detective Inspector Nick Barnes, from Homicide Management, who headed the investigation said: “This was a series of vicious and unprovoked attacks on innocent members of the public.
“Tragically Mr Debski lost his life as a result of being stabbed. Two other people also suffered life changing injuries.
“The family of Mr Debski are still coming to terms with the appalling events from 22 December last year.
“They are finding it difficult to comprehend through the sheer randomness of the attack.
“Although this kind of random attack is rare it is yet another devastating example of the consequences of carrying knives in public places.
“My thoughts remain with the family and friends of Mr Debski and the two other victims who will always have to live with what happened on that dreadful night.”
