It took two armed police officers to subdue Brenton Harrison Tarrant after he allegedly attacked two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, on Friday, fatally shooting 50 worshipers and injuring dozens more. Dramatic cellphone footage from a passerby captured the tense scene of the arrest. An officer, carrying a handgun, approaches the door and appears to be speaking to Tarrant as the second officer follows, holding a rifle. Then the first officer appears to pull a rifle out of the vehicle and throw it behind him before he reaches into the SUV and pulls Tarrant out of the car. The second officer then appears to strike Tarrant with the butt of his rifle.
