One man, who was in the shop at the time, said that the man burst in "dripping with blood" shouting that he'd been stabbed.

He said: "I was in the shop when the young lad came in. He couldn't have been much older than 21.

"He was holding his chest and bleeding and he told me he'd been stabbed and to call an ambulance.

"The whole thing was very distressing, seeing a young lad stabbed like that."
