Default Man with machete Tasered

Quote:
A machete-wielding man was Tasered on a railway station platform as "terrified" rush hour commuters looked on.

Police pinned the man - filmed waving a "massive" blade at Tulse Hill station in South London - to the ground shortly after 18:30 GMT on Monday.

Witnesses described "chaos" as he chased people with the weapon.

A 59-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and possessing an offensive weapon, police said.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-46871219
He's lucky there wasn't an armed response unit at the station because it could of all ended much more seriously for him.

Considering that he didn't injure anybody in a London tube station where probably plenty of targets would have been available, I'm wondering whether it wasn't actually his goal to meet with an armed response officer and that this was an attempted suicide by cop.

Quite possibly, it should all come out under interview I should imagine.

Suicide by cop is dumb as it is complex and unreliable.
