Alarming video shows a crazed, knife-wielding woman repeatedly stabbing a San Francisco restaurant owner — as he desperately tries to defend himself with just a colander.
The savage attack unfolded when Azmi Murait, a father of three, asked the woman to leave his Shawarma Azmi restaurant on Saturday night after he suspected she was doing drugs, KTVU reported.
Security cameras show the woman shouting and then suddenly hurling a tip jar at the owner, who was perched behind the register. Murait lunged at his attacker before the scuffle spilled into the kitchen.
“She came after me,” Murait recalled. “I said ‘I don’t have nothing, just stop.’ The knife was there on the table.”
The footage captured the woman grabbing the huge blade and repeatedly swinging it at the owner as he tried to shield himself with a cardboard box.
He then grabbed a metal colander as he attempted to dodge the knife. Murait said he was eventually able to flee the restaurant and locked the maniac inside as he called cops. It was unclear how many times he was stabbed, but he miraculously escaped with only minor injuries.
During the attack, the owner said he was only able to “think about my family.”
“As you see on the video, with one second you can lose your life,” he added. “But God can do something we cannot do.”
The woman, who hasn’t been named publicly, was later taken into custody.
It wasn’t immediately clear if she had been charged over the attack.
