Police arrest officers Taser a shirtless teenage robbery suspect after he carries a machete and runs through a crowded McDonald’s in Nottingham while officers try to arrest him. A large machete drops from his trousers during the tackle, according to one report.
The suspect, Theo Gottshalk, is described as having threatened a teenager and demanded a phone during a robbery in Nottingham, then fleeing with items from the victim. Outlets say police later identify him after he is spotted on public transport and a manhunt ends about two weeks later, when officers follow him into a McDonald’s and he resists arrest.
Different outlets emphasise different parts of the incident: some focus on the bodycam footage and the charged, public setting, while others highlight the moment the weapon is seen during the arrest. Reports also note that Gottshalk is sentenced to 13 years in prison.
