This the dramatic moment a man brandishing two knives was bundled out of a south London church.
CCTV footage shows the man staggering into the building before a quick-thinking security guard grabs him and forces him out of the door.
With a number of members of the public sat just yards away, the security guard lifts the man off his feet before carrying him through two doors.
The video later shows the man remonstrating with the security guard outside, a blade clearly visible in his right hand.
The man had entered the Universal Church of Kingdom of God in Brixton Road, a short walk from Brixton station, saying he wanted to pray, police said
A spokesman added that the man threatened to stab the security guard before he left the premises.
Police have released a CCTV image of the suspect following the incident, which happened at around 8.30pm on February 13.
The suspect is described as a black man who is around 6ft tall.
Anyone who recognises the man shown in the images released, or who has information that may assist the investigation, is asked to called Lambeth CID on 07785 774 447 or the police non-emergency line on 101.
