00:34Officers eventually got the go-ahead to take Haruna in,
00:37which ultimately culminated in this moment.
00:39Police arrived and Haruna wouldn't come out,
00:41so they utilized a chainsaw to cut through the front door.
00:44What happened next, no one could have expected.
00:46Haruna jumps through the damaged door and onto the officer wielding the chainsaw.
00:51Luckily, the chainsaw was not spinning at that time,
