Insane video shows maniac chasing cop with chainsaw: I thought he would chop my head off

Insane footage shows a maniac chasing a terrified Scottish cop down the street while threatening to chop him up with a chainsaw.Albanian national Liridon Kastrati, 32, grabbed the chainsaw from his car after crashing into Police Constable Gary Cowan’s squad car in Paisley, just west of Glasgow.Terrifying CCTV footage shows him chasing the cop down the middle of the road while threatening to butcher him — and saying he wanted the gruesome scenes shared by the media.The constable testified that he was “terrified” and convinced Kastrati would “saw my arms off, chop my head off.”“I could hear the chainsaw revving.I thought if I do not create distance he is going to kill me,” Cowan testified of the terrifying ordeal in May 2024.The crazed would-be killer eventually placed the terrifying power tool on the floor and was pepper sprayed and arrested.

He was convicted last year of attempting to murder the officer and on Tuesday was sentenced to 10 years in prison.“If PC Cowan was not able to run fast enough or if he stumbled and fell as he ran away from you, the scene could have been one of carnage,” Judge William Gallacher said during sentencing at Glasgow High Court.“PC Cowan thought that if he did not get away from you, you would chop off his limbs and kill him.” “In considering many incidents that I have over the years in Scotland, I have never encountered the use of a chainsaw as a weapon being wielded,” the judge said.“Many might think that this was the stuff only of a horror film.”Kastrati lost it after his sentencing, banging on the dock and shouting at the judge in Albanian, according to the BBC.He then started screaming in English, too, bizarrely calling the judge “a f–king terrorist.”“Your country is a f–king terrorist,” he added, without explanation....
