Liverpool stabbing: Watch the horrifying moment a Good Samaritan is knifed in the chest after rushing to the aid of a woman
CCTV footage shows a Good Samaritan was stabbed multiple times after coming to the aid of a woman who had been attacked.
The 44-year-old man remains in hospital after he was repeatedly stabbed early on Sunday morning on Liverpool’s main street in Sydney’s south-west.
CCTV footage captured on Macquarie Street at around 2.22am showed a man being shot, followed by a woman trying to grab him before pushing herself away.
Police allege the man had earlier attacked the woman in a parked car, at which point the Good Samaritan, who did not know the pair, intervened.
The surveillance camera shows the Good Samaritan seeing a man and a woman fighting near a car.

The man was seen pulling a knife from his car before approaching the Good Samaritan, who was stabbed multiple times.
