This is the dramatic moment armed police screamed ‘show me your hands’ at a man putting his head out of a first floor window as dozens of onlookers watched.
Officers smashed in the front door of the terraced property near a primary school in Tottenham, North London, before pointing their gun sights at his head and chest.
Four points of light were seen on the body of the man, who moved away from the window and reappeared several times – apparently unfazed at the risk of being shot.
Dozens of people watched from the street outside while others stopped in their cars to take a look – with one of the officers trying to push people back from the scene.
The video was first uploaded to social media on April 2, before gaining further traction when it was posted to the Facebook page ‘Birmz is Grimz’ last night.
The incident on Rangemoor Road, which has an average home price of £320,000, was just yards away from Earlsmead Primary School and near Seven Sisters station.
The video shows a several armed police officers bulldozing their way through a door and smashing windows as they can be heard shouting ‘armed police’.
A man then appears at a first floor window and starts talking to them. A large spotlight is immediately fixed to the man as the police continue to shout orders.

The man decides he has had enough and walks away from the window as onlookers are heard laughing at the scene.
Another armed police officer then walks towards the crowd shouting ‘please move away the man’s got a firearm, you need to move away’.
He starts pushing the crowd backwards, but one of the onlookers can be heard replying ‘don’t push me please’ in defiance of the officer’s order.
As the officer walks away from the crowd, one onlooker can be heard saying ‘w*****, f***ing w****** mate, little grey haired c***, if he never had his gun I’d chin him.’

The officers at the door can then be heard shouting ‘armed police!’ again as the man in the property returns to his window, this time with green dots hovering around him.
One of onlookers can be heard saying to a friend: ‘You know blood, man’s got two on his head, and two on his chest.’
At this point a man wearing a red top is escorted outside by a single armed officer. The police at the door shout at the man in the window: ‘Show me your hands now.’
The man turns his back on the officers once again and appears to sit down. The onlookers can be heard laughing as they say: ‘Look, my man’s sat back down, look’.
