HORRIFYING images show the moment a stabbing victim staggers into an Asda store begging for help.
The blood-soaked man was knifed in the back and suffered cuts to his face and hands during violence this morning.
An Asda worker tries to keep him on his feet but he collapses onto his back, leaving behind a trail of blood.
He gets to his feet moments later and is held by the supermarket worker who repeatedly says: "Stay there, stay there".
The footage also shows him slumped in a chair with blood dripping onto the floor.
He falls forward but again collapses before getting to his knees.
A worker says to him: "Lay down buddy, lay down, stay on the floor."
The man, in his 20s, was rushed to hospital moments later. His injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.
