The attacker chased his victim into a restaurant in Willesden, north-west London, last Tuesday, kicking in the door.

In footage captured on CCTV, the victim falls to the floor as the attacker lunges at him with his knife.

After several blows with the knife, the attacker stops, pulls out his phone and appears to film as he continues to stab.

The attack came after a car crash involving the two men on the street outside.

The knifeman remains at large, over a week on.
