'It was like a horror film'
Terrifying moment man stabs four people with large butcher’s knife during crazed attack
Nicolas Valdemar plunged his blade into one helpless woman 20 times
A CRAZED attacker armed with a large butcher's knife launched a terrifying attack on four people in scenes normally found in a horror film.
Nicolas Valdemar, 26, plunged his blade into one woman 20 times as she left a bakery in Argentina - not even stopping as she lay bleeding on the ground.
A passing taxi driver desperately tried to stop the attacker by beeping his horn - but he was then stabbed through the window by gurious Valdemar.
Despite his awful injuries, the driver radioed his colleagues who helped bring the knifeman's rampage to an end.
Amazingly, all four people escaped with their lives - but three are still in a serious condition in hospital.
Horrifying CCTV footage shows the suspect randomly targeting his victims.
Cops believe the man is under the effect of drugs or suffering psychological problems.
He carried out his attack at around 10am yesterday morning in Berisso near to La Plata an hour and a half’s drive south of the Argentinian capital Buenos Aires.
