Footage of the incident taken from a nearby car shows two police officers wrestling with the 27-year-old. Mr Brooks grabs the Taser of one officer.

After a few seconds, he breaks free from the officers and began to run. One officer then uses a Taser on him. The pair then run out of the frame of the video.

Gun shots are heard along with someone yelling "I got him!" The video then shows Mr Brooks lying prone on the ground. He was taken to a hospital where he died during surgery.
