The video shows how officers shout at the suspect, saying "Don't move, don't f****** move" after he's brought to the ground by three separate taser discharges.

At least six officers can be seen moving towards the suspect who is pinned down and arrested.

The man is now in hospital after suffering injuries when his van crashed into a building, police have said.
