"He was yelling out 'help' and me and my mates we outside, we were freaking out and were like 'nah, we've got to help him'," a witness said.
"He was laying there and I was like mate calm down you will be all good, just keep calm,"
The offender took off, running through another restaurant next door.
Witness in that restaurant said they saw "a guy with a knife who was just bleeding all over his body".
