Sickening moment van crashed into house and hit passerby at start of terrifying ... trends now
This is the sickening moment a van ploughs into a pedestrian in the first moments of a nightmarish rampage by a swordsman which left a 14-year-old boy dead.
Footage captured on a doorbell camera shows a van driven by a 36-year-old suspect careering off a road and into a house in Hainault, east London, hitting a passerby in the process.
Blood-curdling screams, which MailOnline has removed from the video above as they are so disturbing, can be heard piercing the air in the immediate aftermath of the crash on the corner of New North Road and Laing Close involving the dark grey vehicle just before 7am.
It marked the beginning of the terrifying 22-minute ordeal in the quiet streets during which a teenage boy was stabbed to death and four other people, including two police officers, wounded as a knifeman went on the rampage.
Graphic footage shared online shows the suspect dragging the body of the child across a road in a quiet residential street, moments after hacking him him to death with a samurai sword in front of horrified neighbours.
Witnesses said the schoolboy 'died on the spot' after having a sword nearly 2ft in length swung at his head as part of what police believe to be a 'random' attack.
The suspect, clad in a yellow hoodie, was seen prowling the streets and climbing onto rooftops after dumping the van 100 metres away in a cul-de-sac, as police swarmed the area in the early hours of Monday morning.
The nightmare was brought to an end when the suspect wielding the huge weapon was tasered by hero unarmed police officers, with the dramatic arrest being caught on CCTV.

He has since been arrested on suspicion of murder, although police are yet to question the suspect as he remains in hospital being treated for injuries sustained in the van crash.
The horrifying ordeal has shocked the close-knit community where it took place, after the violence broke out just before 7am.
It is claimed that the schoolboy victim of the attack had been leaving a house in Laing Close to go to school when he was caught up in the mayhem.
The child, named locally as Joshua, was described by heartbroken neighbours as a 'nice, quiet boy' whose Nigerian church-going family live in Laing Close, where the attack began.
It is claimed he was a pupil at Bancroft's School, a £25,000-a-year private school in Woodford Green, which was also where Nottingham attack victim Grace O'Malley-Kumar was educated before going to university, The Sun reports.
James Fernando, 39, who lives on the street said the poor child, who did not know the attacker, was 'dead on the spot' after being hit in the head with a sword nearly 2ft in length.
He said the suspect, who was wearing a yellow hoodie, had asked a woman to speak to someone on his phone, but she fled when she realised she was in danger.
Mr Fernando said: 'Within two seconds after that she realised something isn't right, started running and he's pulled a samurai sword from the back of his trousers.
'She's shouted to the other neighbour – a Nigerian boy who was on his way to school.
'As he's turned around, he's struck him on the face. He was dead on the spot.
'It was quite traumatising now. I can't stop envisioning the boy's face.
'He was running around, still after the police officers came, with the sword in his hand looking for victims.'
A neighbour yesterday paid tribute to the schoolboy victim, who died of his injuries after being rushed to hospital, telling the Mail: 'He is a nice, quiet boy. He does not play out, but stays at home.
'His family are very nice, respectable. They go to church and go out together as a family.'

During the rampage the suspect was allegedly heard screaming at emergency service workers 'Does anyone here believe in God?' after a teenage boy was fatally stabbed.
One local man, named as Brandon, claimed that the attack had started after the van ploughed into a house.
He told The Telegraph: 'A van had driven into the side of the house opposite me. I heard a load of screaming and it turned out a man who had gone to see if the motorist was okay got stabbed in the neck by the driver.
'The driver then got back in his car and reversed out the side of the house to drive up the back road opposite where it all started kicking off again. I could hear more people running and screaming.'
David Maguire, 38, who works in security in Canary Wharf, said he was travelling to Hainault Tube station when he saw a man 'holding his neck [with] blood coming out his fingers'.
He told The Times: 'There were so many people running towards the station trying to get away from danger. No one knew what was going on.'
A resident who lives across the road from the vicious attack described how she saw a man leaving a house covered in blood as police arrived.
Gana Ignat said: 'I saw something happen outside and heard screams, I didn't understand what had happened and thought it was a child.
'My daughter came into my room and said 'mum, mum something is happening outside'.
'I went outside and the police shouted 'no, no please go back in your house' because he is dead.
'I went back into the house, on the second floor, and I saw through the window a man in a yellow hoodie running quickly through the car park outside, through a garden and past another house.
'I saw the man running away and after that I don't know, I saw all the police and a helicopter.'

Another neighbour described hearing a 'terrified scream' and shouting before watching police cordon off a nearby road.
New North Road resident Ray Leigh Mason, 44, said 'I heard a shout, something along the lines of "there's nothing you can do mate", then screaming.
'The shouting must've been around 06.50am and at the time of it occurring, I wrongly assumed it was neighbours arguing, which quite often happens at all hours.
