This is the moment a talented police dog managed to track down a suspected knifeman hiding by a van in less than a minute.
Police Dog Odin successfully followed the scent of a man who was suspected of stabbing someone in Stretchford, Birmingham on Saturday.

The West Midlands Police Dog Section shared bodycam footage of the hunt on Twitter.
It shows the moment a dog handler arrives at the scene to help track down the suspect after he reportedly threw a knife and ran away from a policeman who was pursuing him.

The dog handler asks: "What's he done? Stabbed someone?"

Another officer responds: "He tried to stab someone then he's chucked something, some kind of weapon, into a garden."

The dog handler says "Odin, find" and the German Shepherd immediately starts guiding him through alleyways and between houses until he brings his handler to a white van where a man is hiding.
Odin barks loudly at the suspect as the dog handler orders the man to "come out now".
After the successful find, the force tweeted: "#PoliceDog in action! Here's PD Odin showing us just how it's done!
