injured, but is able to call for back-up

This is the shocking moment a drink-driver stabs a police officer to death and badly injures another after being placed in the back of their patrol car.

The horrific video footage was captured on a camera fitted to the inside of the police car in the village of Kharlovo in Russia's Altai Krai region.

The two officers are seen in the front of the car when the 38-year-old suspect is seated in the back seat having handed over his papers during a routine traffic stop.

He appears to be almost falling asleep, but suddenly pulls out a kitchen knife and repeatedly stabs the policeman sitting on the right of the video.
