The motion is called “sawing”. The tones produced by a sawed string instrument are called “sawtooth waves”. That’s what causes us to perceive the piercing tones as extraordinary. Very few natural phenomena produce audible sawtooth waveforms.
I especially enjoyed that added touch of the ledger lines being sawed through, as well as the violin.
This reminds me very much of Dick Dale “King of the Surf Guitar” who would wear out several plectrums per performance and frequently break thick guitar strings with his savage, staccato picking style. Modern listeners might know his “Miserlou” song used in the movie “Pulp Fiction”. Hear it on YouTube or any music streaming service.
