The footage initially shows Mr Bruce holding a knife to the nurse after she called the police.

Officers can then be seen walking through the garden towards Mr Bruce, who’s mother is attempting to calm him.

Mr Bruce then suddenly charges at the police, knocking one to the ground as well as his mother.

‘Uh oh, here we go,’ a police helicopter voice-over can be heard saying.

The three officers can then be seen attempting to restrain a rabid Mr Bruce, with capsicum spray used to help subdue the ice addict.

‘He went a little burko (sic) didn’t he?’ a police helicopter officer says.
