Three police officers defied their bosses and took down a gunman while unarmed in north Manchester in a desperate bid to save people's lives.
Some of their heroics were captured on dramatic dash-cam footage which showed PCs Jack Grainger, Jessica Hamblett and Richard Hayes tackling gunman Mohammed Shabaz Rafiq even though they heard the sound of a shot being fired moments earlier.
The unarmed cops were advised to wait for armed back-up but the streets of Harpurhey were filling with kids on their way home from school and they decided to act.
