This is the terrifying moment hooded men were filmed brandishing guns in northern France following an attack that killed two police officers and left three others seriously injured.

CCTV footage captured the moment a car ambushed a prison van and freed Mohamed Amra, also known as "The Fly".

Dozens of shots were fired, with the incident occurring near a busy motorway toll booth just after 11am.

The van was taking Amra back to jail in Normandy after a court hearing in Rouen when the brutal attack happened.

An "unprecedented" manhunt involving around 450 police officers is taking place to find the armed gang.
