CCTV footage revealed a good Samaritan was stabbed multiple times after rushing to the aid of a woman who had been assaulted.
The 44-year-old man remains in hospital after being repeatedly stabbed on the main street of Liverpool, in Sydney’s southwest, early on Sunday morning.
CCTV footage captured on Macquarie Street at around 2.22am showed a man running towards the scene of the shooting, followed by a woman who tried to grab him before he ran away.
Police allege the man had previously assaulted the woman in a parked car before the good Samaritan, who was not known to the couple, intervened.
The Good Samaritan is captured by security cameras when he saw the man and the woman fighting near a car.
He took off his jacket and approached to end the altercation.
The man was seen pulling a knife out of his car before approaching the Good Samaritan, who was stabbed multiple times.
The good Samaritan runs away clutching his wounds while the man with the knife chases him but trips and falls to the ground.
