A restaurant employee in Melbourne has described the moving moment that her colleagues tried in vain to save the lives of an injured Machete -attacking victim.
It was around 8.30 pm on Friday evening when a 24-year-old man named Clyde was attacked by about 10 men armed with transmitted weapons, including Machetes.
The police said the man was being chased on foot before being attacked and was repeatedly stabbed in a charging zone of a Lyndhurst shopping center.
After the suffering of some deadly injury, the bruised and bloody man stumbled at a nearby restaurant for help.
Employees of Crust Pizza in the Marriott Waters shopping center offered what medical help they could despite the wounds of the man were probably fatal.
“They tried to help, but the cutbacks were so great that they couldn't do much,” an employee told who was not at Daily Mail Australia at that time.
“He bleed so much.”
Employees immediately called emergency services and told Dine-in customers to evacuate, the employee said.

The man had suffered 'big cutbacks' on his stomach and groin and lay immobile on the floor by the time the ambulance arrived, she said.
Asked if her colleagues were struck by the incident, the employee said they were all 'shaken'.
The victim, whose full name has not yet been released, is supposed to have been only in a parked Silver Honda Civic when the men approached his vehicle.
The police said he was trying to drive away after a short 'dispute' with the men before crashing his car in another vehicle.
The 24-year-old then tried to flee on foot before he was caught by the armed attackers.
The police believe that the attack was the target, causing the fear of a retaliation attack.
Armed crime team Detective inspector Adam Tilley told reporters on Saturday that the police were investigating whether the attack was related.
“There is always a point of care when someone is harmed in the community … If they are affiliated with a gang or a group, there is always a care for retribution, retribution,” he said.

“I am not saying that this incident is linked to two gangs, but every incident that takes place in this nature of machetes or edges is a concern for us.”
A crime scene was located around the Marriott Waters Shopping Center Carpark where researchers were depicted with investigating a silver sedan.
Mr. Tilley said that some of the alleged attackers fled the scene in the Hyundai who drove to the north on Society Avenue.
“We are looking for the help of the public to please come up with information and contact crime stoppers,” he said
“We believe at this stage … This was a targeted attack and that the parties were known together.”
Mr. Tilley said that the victim's family was left by the attack 'traumatized'.
Witness and Lyndhurst -resident Abhijeet Singh, 35, told the Herald Sun he had seen A “group of ten to 20 young people gathered around a silver sedan.”
“Something happened within a few seconds and they ran in every direction, all screaming the same word.”
Victorian Prime Minister Jacinta Allen announced a proposed ban on Machetes on a Victoria Police Headquarters presentation on Thursday
“That's when I saw two boys run to the metro, one of them had a machete in his hand.”
The detective inspector said that the incident was 'extremely confronted' for residents of the rapidly developing suburb Melbourne-Buitenwijk.
He said he was unable to comment on the extent of the injuries, but added that they were probably 'horrible' based on the weapons involved in the attack.
Asked if arrests had been made, the police of Victoria Daily Mail Australia told that they 'had nothing to do'.
Within a few days after Victorian Prime Minister Jacinta, the attack announces plans to ban Machetes with penalties of two years in prison or fines of more than $ 47,000.
If it is adopted in the law, the prohibition would come into force from September 2025, together with extensive knife -seekers.
'Machetes destroy lives so that we will destroy machetes. The places we meet cannot be the places we are afraid of, “said Mrs. Allen.
'I listen and I listen, with the heaviest bail laws in Australia and the first macheting bid in Australia.
“Under my government, the security of the community comes first and there are consequences for violating the rules.”
