Rudakubana, 18, was jailed for a minimum of 52 years in January.
He also attempted to murder eight other children, who cannot be named for legal reasons, as well as businessman John Hayes and class instructor Leanne Lucas.
New Merseyside Police footage in the BBC‘s Panorama programme The Southport Killer shows a member of the public leading a male officer to the building.
The policeman, armed only with a baton, can be heard speaking into a radio saying: “It’s all kicking off here mate.
“There’s a member of the public directing me into a building.”
He tells the witness to “wait” at the side entrance as he continues speaking to a colleague on his walkie talkie.
“Ambulance is with a child on the floor not breathing,” he says.
“There’s a male in the building. Going in to try and detain him.”
But the copper is urged by the civilian not to go in before he is told he needs “a f***ing gun” as the suspect has a “knife”.
More officers arrive, including one armed with a taser, and the group can be seen storming the property.
Previous footage released by police shows Rudakubana arriving at the building in the back of a taxi ready to kill.
Hiding behind a surgical mask, the monster refuses to pay the driver, who repeatedly asks him: “Cash or card?”
He then exits the vehicle and makes his way to the community centre, where 26 innocent children had excitedly gathered for the booked-out class.

Rudakubana attempts to gain entry through a large door before sneaking in through an open stairwell to his right.
Once inside, the triple killer unleashed his rampage – slashing at children and adults one-by-one.
It comes as a yoga teacher who was repeatedly stabbed has described helping several children to run to safety adding she felt she had to survive in order to save those in her class.
In an interview with the BBC’s Panorama, Ms Lucas told the programme how she was able to get herself and several children out of the room, despite suffering stab wounds to her spine, head, ribs, lung and shoulder blade.
She told the broadcaster: “(Rudakubana) opened the door and just grabbed a child. I didn’t know what he was doing.
“He then grabbed the next child. And the next child. And then I shout: ‘Who is that?’
“Then I struggle to get that part of the memory back because he moves from the girls at the table and he moves over to right next to me.
“I just felt something go in my back … and my brain just said: He’s got me. So he got me and then he got me again.
“But I just knew that if I didn’t get out, everyone was going to die.”
Ms Lucas sustained five stab wounds to her spine, head, ribs, lung and shoulder blade.
Despite this, the yoga instructor and her friend, dance teacher Heidi Liddle, were able to get several children out of the room.
She said: “He was bigger than me and I just thought I need to get some help. So, we were shouting: ‘Run’, and I call 999 from the landing and ask for the police.
“(I) just wanted everyone to get out of the building.
“I just kept saying: ‘There’s children inside. There’s children inside’ … My brain’s going 100 miles an hour but my body won’t do anything.
“And then people are asking me questions and I’m just saying: ‘Go and get the children.’ I just don’t know what else I could’ve done … You just don’t feel brave when you’re the adult …
“The police said we’d all be dead if me and Heidi hadn’t done what we’d done, and that gives nothing for like the children who did die. Like, that doesn’t take that away.”
Fourteen-year-old Sarah – a fellow survivor whose identity is protected by a court order – also spoke to Panorama, telling the BBC of how she managed to fight through serious injury to lead several of the children to safety.
She said: “I saw him stab a child in front of me. And then I saw the knife coming towards me and him coming towards me.
“And that’s when I saw it go into my arm. And that’s when I turned and he must have got my back, but I didn’t feel it at the time, because of the adrenaline … I remember his eyes the most, because he looked possessed and not human … I remember seeing the girls all like huddling around the stairs.
“So I remember shouting for them to get down and get out.
“So I was physically pushing them down the stairs to get everyone out.
“I thought that he wasn’t going to stop until he killed everyone.”
