A knifeman who chased a driver in his car before getting out and stabbing him in a restaurant is being hunted by cops

The high-speed pursuit and attack were compared to a scene out of the computer game Grand Theft Auto.

The victim, in his 20s, realised he was being followed and was then smashed into.

A £55,000, 150mph grey Audi A5 S Line collided head-on with a parked silver Land Rover.

The victim got out of his motor and dashed into a nearby restaurant, and was attacked with the blade.

Cops were called, but the victim had left and taken himself to the hospital with stab injuries.

One local filmed the aftermath of the crash in an 18-second video on their mobile phone.

The front of the Audi was seen heavily damaged and with two wheels on the ground.

Other shocked drivers were seen getting out of their cars, as reported on Need To Know.

A third compared it to the popular game and said: “GTA.”

A Met Police spokesperson said: “Police were called at around 9:06 pm on Tuesday, 1 April, to reports of a stabbing inside a restaurant in Walm Lane, Willesden.

“A man in his 20s then self-presented to the hospital with stab wounds.

“His condition is not life-threatening or life-changing.”

They added: “It is believed the victim was driving his car when he was followed by the suspect in another vehicle.

“A collision took place, and the victim ran into the restaurant where he was stabbed.

“No arrests have been made at this time.

“But officers continue to follow all available lines of enquiry.”
