Doorbell video appears to show police zoning in on Wisconsin Christmas parade suspect before his arrest

• Doorbell camera footage captured the moment police found the suspect in the Wisconsin parade attack.
• The footage, obtained by NBC News, shows Darrell Brooks begging a local resident for help with an Uber.

Dramatic doorbell camera footage captured the moment police zoned in on the suspect in the deadly Christmas parade vehicular attack in Wisconsin right after he begged a local resident for help with an Uber.

The footage, obtained by NBC News, shows suspect Darrell Brooks, 39, knocking on the front door of resident Daniel Rider's home on Sunday roughly 20 minutes after the parade rampage in Waukesha that left five dead and 48 injured, the news outlet reported.

"Hey, I called an Uber and I'm supposed to be waiting for it over here, but I don't know when it's coming," a shivering, T-shirt-wearing Brooks can be heard saying in the clip. "Can you call it for me please? I'm homeless."

Rider told NBC News that he was watching football at the time police say Brooks "intentionally" drove an SUV through barricades and into crowds marching in the holiday parade, and had no idea about the horror that unfolded a few blocks from his home.

The resident told the news outlet that he invited Brooks into his home, gave him a coat, made him a sandwich, and let him use his cellphone.

"All of a sudden, I look outside my street and I see a few cop cars drive by and I'm getting extra nervous," said Rider, who added that he later asked Brooks to leave.

Rider's neighbor then called the police and while Brooks was outside, he banged on Rider's door, saying he left his ID, according to NBC News and the footage.

The doorbell camera footage shows Brooks pacing around Rider's front porch moments before police vehicles descend on the street.

"Hands up! Put your hands where I can see them," an officer can be heard shouting before other cops also yell for Brooks to put his hands up, according to the clip.

Brooks then apparently obeyed the command as he says, "Whoa, whoa, whoa," the video shows.

Police ultimately arrested him, but the video NBC News published doesn't show the moment Brooks was taken into custody.

Brooks, who has a lengthy criminal history, now faces five counts of first-degree intentional homicide for the SUV attack.
