Detective Constable Helen Pannell, who was involved in the investigation, said: "The arrest captured on Police Interceptors shows how skilled our officers are in robustly dealing with potentially dangerous people.
"Clearly it would have been alarming for residents to see armed officers arrive in their street. The force’s priority is to keep people safe and as our swift response to this serious incident demonstrates, we treat all reports of violence extremely seriously.
“Kumalonje used a high level of violence towards the victims so I’m pleased how our officers quickly managed to quickly defuse the situation and take him into custody.”
