Chilling video evidence reveals how Akheel Khan, dressed in a black top and grey joggers, sparked chaos on the quiet street.

He appears out of no where backed by a gang of lads around him before cops intervene.

The 24-year-old is seen roaming the streets with his weapon, on a revenge rampage.

The thugs scarper as more than six officers chase them down the road with help from a riot van.

CCTV shows the moment Khan is finally cuffed and restrained by two policemen outside a nearby property.

Teesside Crown Court heard the horrifying ordeal unfolded amid the Middlesbrough riots earlier this year.

The court heard Khan, an engineer with a first class honours degree, left his Mosque on August 4.

He was spotted later that evening on Belk Street and Park Lane, with the group of yobs looking for someone.

Khan had discovered his car had been damaged in the riots and the court heard he armed himself with a hammer to go out and look for the person who had done it.

Cleveland police were called out to Park Lane at just after 8pm to “reports of a group of Asian men fighting.”

Khan got into a waiting car which crashed seconds later and was arrested immediately afterwards.

He appeared in court having admitted violent disorder.

His solicitor Michele Turner asked the judge to consider suspending Khan’s sentence as he was a victim after discovering his car had been smashed up.

The court heard how his job in Sheffield is being held open for him.

Judge Richard Bennett sentenced Khan, of Wheatley Close in Acklam, to 15 months.

He will serve 40 per cent of the prison term before he is released on licence.
