The moment a small-time actor from Argentina stabbed his ex-wife 28 times before turning the gun on himself was captured on horrifying CCTV footage.
Sergio Sarria, 41, broke into the Big Pizza pizzeria last week – where Débora, his ex-wife, 45, works together with her new partner – in the Núñez neighborhood, Buenos Aires, before a frantic knife attack that left Débora with 28 brutal stab wounds.
“He wanted to kill me like an animal,” he said. ‘All the stab wounds I have are in the ribs, neck, face and one eye. It was terrible, terrifying. I have a big cut on my elbow because he cut me with that knife.
Shocking video footage showed Sarria jumping over the barrier leading to the kitchen and attacking Débora – who was behind the counter at the time – with a large knife in her hand.
A struggle quickly ensued after Débora was aggressively grabbed and stabbed repeatedly before falling to the ground and attempting to protect her face from the attack.
Débora’s current partner, along with another partner, were captured when they tried to stop the violent encounter – throwing things at him to make him intervene – while Sarria continued madly stabbing his ex-wife while she crouched on the ground.
Débora, who described her ex-husband as frequently abusive during their previous 23-year marriage, was able to get up and flee the store while Sarria took off his jacket and stabbed himself several times in the neck when police arrived.
“Miraculously, he didn’t manage to kill me,” said Débora, who has since been released from the hospital. “I think a lot of it was because of the help I got because they tried to hit him, get him off of him, but he was furious.”
Sarria is detained but remains in the hospital after his alleged suicide attempt.
Horrifying CCTV footage captured the moment a pint-sized Argentinian actor, Sergio Sarria, 41, broke into his ex-wife’s workplace and stabbed her 28 times.
Debora, his ex-wife, 45, was seen bloodied and crouching on the ground as she tried to protect her face from the violent knife attack.
