Police are examining CCTV footage of an early morning stabbing at Port Macquarie service station that left a worker “terrified”.
Emergency services found a 30-year-old man with a stab wound after being called to the Mobil service station on Gordon Street at 1.25am on Friday morning.
The man was taken to hospital in a serious but stable condition.
A service station counter worker, who was on shift at the time but did not wish to be named, said he first became aware of the incident after he saw a car standing directly outside the door of his shop.
“I thought ‘what’s happening?’ and suddenly I saw some police cars coming through,” the employee said.
“Then I went out and saw him (the man) bleeding. He was bleeding heavily. He took his shirt to stop the bleeding.”
The worker believed the man was stabbed in the side of his back and a security guard employed by the station had called police.
Officers at the scene asked to see CCTV footage, which they recorded.
The staffer rang his manager who agreed to hand over the footage to police.
“I was a bit terrified,” the worker said.
He said that over the past three days his house has been robbed and he has seen two other bleeding beside the road following incidents.
Anybody with information about the incident has been urged by police to contact Crime Stoppers.
