“It happened in broad daylight in summertime on a busy road,” he added.
”When I heard about it I just checked the [CCTV] footage. I think everything happened just before in an alleyway.
”As soon as [the victim] came out [of the alleyway], he was in a lot of distress. A passer-by saw he was in distress and alerted someone else.
”It was clear something was wrong with him, but I couldn’t see any blood. ‘He was in a panic and knew something was wrong.”
