Watch the scenes as armed police detain a gunman after he opened fire in a busy street, causing terrified revellers to flee.

Dramatic bodycam footage, and CCTV, captures the moments when Deraj Meade, 22, fired a gun in a street filled with party-goers - and armed officers later detaining him at gunpoint. In the shocking video, revellers can be seen ducking for cover and fleeing the scene after the thug fired two shots at around 3.20am on June 17 2023. Meade had visited a nightclub between 12.30am and 3.10am and had been returning fire after being shot at himself shortly after leaving the venue.

Body-cam footage shows Meade being ordered out of a car and detained at gunpoint in the street by armed officers. Meade, of Sheldon Heath, Birmingham, admitted possessing a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence and having ammunition without a certificate. On Thursday, he was jailed for seven years and two months at Birmingham Crown Court.
