Extraordinary body-cam footage shows a police officer wrestling for his life with an ice addict who snatched his gun from his holster.
Footage has emerged of cops swooping on wanted man Benjamin Patricks, hiding in scaffolding in the inner Sydney suburb of Chippendale, last year.
NSW Police dog handler Jesse Swain confronted Patricks – who grabbed the officer’s gun from his holster and put his hand on the trigger.
With his own life and those of his colleagues on the line, Swain frantically wrestles with Patricks to stop him from firing the gun.
