New video released Friday shows a man in a red shirt running toward the victim and stabbing him while he was on the ground.

Before the incident, authorities say the suspect tried to pick a fight with the victim inside a video store.

"During the fight, the victim's ankle was fractured which caused him to be unable to stand," according to a news release.

The suspect walked away, but then returned with a knife and attacked the already injured victim as he sat on the ground outside, police said. The victim was taken to the hospital in critical condition.
