Shocking images worn through the body shows the moment that an armed burglar is struggled on the ground by police officers after he had sued them with a crowbar.
Callum Knox and his employee Damian Smith were both armed and wore Balaclavas when they focused on a Morrisons store in Kent.
Officers were called at 1.40 am when an intruder warning was activated in the store in New Ash Green.
A staff member at the supermarket chain challenged the men when officers arrived and rushed in.
Smith helped the demands of the police to surrender and dropped his crowbar, lying on the floor while the Red Sight Finders of a police taser shone on his face.
But Knox tried to escape by switching on to an exit, and the agent who blocked it, with a crowbar above his head.
The officer managed to struggle on the floor and struggled to faint him while Knox came out in front of his taser before the second officer was in control.

Both men were eventually held successfully and a key was found on the floor that led to the discovery of their escape car in the area.
Knox, 38, Van Southampton and Smith, 44, from Southampton, later argued guilty of burglary. Knox also admitted two counts of attacking a care provider.
On February 13, Knox was sentenced to two years at Canterbury Crown Court and a month in prison.
Smith had violated an earlier suspended sentence and was imprisoned for two years and ten months.
Chief Inspector Mark Stubberfield said: 'Knox was determined to escape in all possible ways, but was tackled on the ground by our reacting officers, whose retaining courage and professionalism ensured that he was disarmed and that both men were finally brought to court now .
'Such things are a grim memory of the actual risks that our officers are confronted with confronting danger and conflicts.
“It is important that they also illustrate our determination to protect the public against career criminals such as Knox and Smith, whose productive insult can have a very adverse impact on the communities and companies on which they are focusing.”
