This is the shocking moment a machete-wielding teen robber was tasered to the floor by cops as he fled through a busy McDonald’s.
Theo Gottshalk, 19, had threatened to chop off a teenager’s arm unless he handed over his phone during a terrifying robbery.
He then fled with the youngster’s phone, bracelet and chain following the mugging in Woolpack Lane, Nottingham, at around midday on September 9 last year.
Police launched a manhunt, and two weeks later, on October 23, Gottshalk was recognised on a Nottingham bus and reported to cops.
Officers followed him into McDonald’s on Clumber Street, where he violently resisted arrest as he desperately tried to escape.

Dramatic bodycam footage shows Gottshalk wrestling with four cops before losing his shirt and making a dash for the door.
But an officer fired a Taser at him, causing a large 3-foot-long machete to tumble from his trousers.
The distinctive red-handled weapon matched the description previously given by his victim.
Cops also discovered several deal bags of cannabis Gottshalk was carrying.
Detectives were then able to match clothing seized from him to CCTV footage of the robbery.
Appearing at Birmingham Crown Court last Friday, Gottshalk, of Forest Fields, Nottingham, was jailed for 13 years as part of an extended custodial sentence.
