“I saw him on the floor, there were loads of police officers around him.

“People around said they were making a music video and an argument broke out out of nowhere and a man produced a machete and stabbed this guy multiple times.”

He continued: “A girl was slashed as well. They said it was the victim’s girlfriend when she tried to intervene.”
