This is the shocking moment a man was stabbed in the street in the early hours of the morning – as police arrest a 34-year-old on suspicion of attempted murder.

A horrific video posted on Snapchat with laughing emojis shows a man gearing up to slice another with a flick knife, missing by just a few inches at 1.30am yesterday.

He then grabbed the man – who was pushing a pram filled with belongings but no child – by his shirt to stop him from backing away.

The injured man backed away before noticing the blood pouring down from the wound, pressing his hand to his neck.

He then approached his attacker as laughter and jeering was heard in the disturbing footage, but a woman appeared to convince him to walk away.

The injured man, his barking dog and the woman all walked down the road as the group of men continued to laugh and shout.

The footage then cuts to being filmed out of a car window as they drove past the injured man lying on a pavement with his dog and the woman leaning over him, concerned.

‘Ambulance right here boy’ the person filming shouted as the emergency services arrived, shouting ‘you’re f*****g lucky, lucky. There’s no saving him. Watch him bleed out’.

Police confirmed the injured man was taken to hospital and he remains in a stable condition as of this evening.
