"I was peacefully trying to find my friend when suddenly a woman pulled out a knife and tried to stab the uncle. I don't know her exact reason. There were fences all around me to my left, right, and behind … I had nowhere to go, I was practically one inch away from her," the video was captioned.
*"I was terrified she would suddenly break free and attack me because I was the only person in front of her. So the only thing I could do was record everything I saw.
What I want to tell you guys is to remember to be safe when you guys go these kind of events, that was so terrifying."*
