A woman was lucky to be alive after she was stabbed six times during a row in the street.
Footage filmed by a bystander shows the pair arguing furiously in a busy city centre, with a man getting involved from time to time.
Things escalate when one of the women picks up a large knife and wields it menacingly at her rival.

Seconds later, she appears to stab the other woman in the face.
The victim falls backwards as the person filming reacts audibly.
The man and another man standing next to him simply look on as she lies injured on a bench.
The knife wielder then walks towards her coldly and allegedly plunges the seven-inch-long blade into her again and again as the person filming gasps.
Only then does the first man minimally intervene to lead the attacker away.
The horror unfolded outside a supermarket in Valparaíso, Chile, yesterday (2 Apr), as reported on Need to Know.
According to local media, the victim was stabbed at least six times.
The police say they were called to the scene and arrested the perpetrator.
The victim was taken to hospital to receive treatment for her injuries, which were luckily minor.
A police spokesperson said: “The police arrested a woman for attempted murder, an incident that occurred at noon in the Bellavista area and was recorded by witnesses.
“The victim was taken to the nearest health centre where she was diagnosed with minor injuries.”

The identities of those involved are withheld and it’s not clear what they argued about.
