This footage brings home the shocking reality of knife crime on our streets.
It was recorded in the early hours of Friday morning in Manchester city centre - minutes after a man was stabbed.
The victim can be seen in the video holding up his shirt, showing off the knife wound to his chest, which is just inches from his heart and lungs.
He can be heard telling witnesses that he has been stabbed once in the front and once in the back, as they plead with him to sit down and wait for medical treatment.
One man repeatedly shouts: 'you've been stabbed in the lung'.
GMP confirmed the 41-year-old was taken to hospital.
