This is the haunting moment the crazed Tunisian gunman made his escape after slaughtering 38 people.
Seifeddine Rezgui was spotted by a tourist following his 25-minute rampage where he targeted holidaymakers lounging on the beach in Sousse.
The 55-second clip shows the 23-year-old ISIS militant, who was also carrying grenades, dressed in black and running along the edge of the sea.
This is the terrifying moment the Tunisian gunman was filmed making his escape moments after slaughtering 38 people
Rezgui can be seen still carrying the assault rifle he used in the horrifying attack in one hand as he turns to sprint up an alley.
The footage, shot from a nearby balcony, was released after a Tunisian police officer revealed he killed the assassin using 'two bullets'.
The policeman, who wished to keep his identity secret, said he spotted the gunman while he was praying in a side street before he shot him twice.
Following his killing spree, Rezgui stopped outside a housing development belonging to Mayel Moncef, 56.
As bullets rained down on the gunman from rooftop snipers, he dropped to his knees in prayer, allowing a grenade to roll from his hand and into the gutter.
Mr Moncef then picked up a stack of terracotta roof tiles and threw it on the head of the gunman, causing him to stumble. He walked a few yards before the policeman shot him dead.

This is the man ISIS claim carry out the barbaric attack, named by them as Abu Yahya Al Qayrawani
'I put two bullets in him. I haven't slept since', he told the Sunday People.
Witness accounts say Rezgui was seen laughing and joking among the midday bathers, looking like any other tourist.
But he was actually carefully picking out the victims he would murder with a Kalashnikov hidden in his parasol.
In the murderous rampage on the crowded Tunisian beachfront at El Kantaoui near Sousse, he killed 38 - with 36 seriously wounded.
The British were his prime targets and at least 15 have been confirmed dead.
'One minute you're on a sun lounger then the next there are bullets whizzing past your head', one witness said.

Last night, a Tunisian Interior Ministry source said that while Rezgui did not have a criminal record, he was known to authorities for 'low level radicalism' and was once stopped by police for smoking cannabis.
The source confirmed Rezgui was an active member of a radical group called Islamic Youth and would go to mosques controlled by radical preachers.
By the time he launched his killing spree in Sousse, Rezgui was said to be working with ISIS, which yesterday posted a picture of him with two assault rifles either side of him, on its website.
Using Rezgui's jihadi name, Abu Yahya al-Qayrawani, it described him as 'Our brother, the soldier of the Caliphate'.
Speaking from the family home in Gaafour, a poor area of Tunisia's Saliana province, his uncle Ali Bin Muhammad Rezgui said: 'He was a sweet boy when he was younger. He was a breakdancer and loved football. He should have had a long, happy life.'
