British police vs man charging at them with knife.

British police vs man charging at them with machete.

British police vs man charging at them with two knives.

That's just the first three hits searching YouTube for "british police vs knife," there are hundreds of others.

Note: I do think that the police have the right to defend themselves, and occasionally a gun may need to be the weapon of last resort. However, it should actually be the last resort.

It's hard to know what happened in this case with no video footage.
