The masked robber had walked into the chain restaurant, in Earlsdon, with an eight-inch kitchen knife and demanded money from the tills.

The 41 year-old put the knife to the store manager's chest - and customers and staff fled the scene.

The police officers, however, tasered, disarmed and arrested the man on suspicion of robbery.

They then handcuffed him to the floor.
