A drug dealer stabbed a man in a grocery store as horrified shoppers watched on.
Mahdi Husseini, 28, chased his 19-year-old victim into the Madina superstore in Levenshulme, armed with a knife and a baseball bat.
He pursued the man around the store, as shoppers and staff minded their own business.

Husseini has been locked up for more than five years for the shocking attack.
Manchester Crown Court heard that the victim's 'bulky' clothes and rucksack might have saved him from being more seriously hurt.
The victim had been walking along Stockport Road when Husseini, who was sat in a grey BMW, shouted over to him.
"Are you Mo?," Husseini asked him.
As he responded Husseini got out of the car, armed with a knife and baseball bat, and chased him.
He ran into the Madina store, as Husseini pursued him, at about 6pm on September 1 last year.
Husseini caught up in the shop and started attacking him, landing a number of blows with the weapons.
During the attack the victim suffered wounds to his arm, shoulder, head and back.
Prosecuting, Paul Dockery said his clothes and rucksack may have offered him some protection from the blows.
Husseini was arrested about a week later.
"The background between the two if them was in relation to some dispute over a motor car," Husseini's barrister Michael Goldwater said.
"It must have been disturbing to other people to watch what was going on."
The judge, Recorder Anthony O'Donohue told Husseini: "It is simply sheer luck as far as you are concerned, that your victim was not more seriously injured.
"The behaviour I have seen on the CCTV footage was shocking, you were armed with a knife and a baseball bat."
At the time of the stabbing Husseini was on bail after being arrested for dangerous driving.
Husseini crashed his car after a police chase near the Curry Mile in November 2019.
He was also caught dealing cannabis in May last year, after police searched his home in Salford.
The room smelt of cannabis and officers found more than £4,000 worth of the drug, as well as snap bags and scales.
When officers took him to the police station, they found Husseini had tried to hide eight bags of cannabis in his underpants.
Husseini was sentenced to a total of five years and two months in jail, after pleading guilty to wounding with intent, having an article with a blade, possession of an offensive weapon, dangerous driving and possession of cannabis with intent to supply.
Mr Goldwater said Husseini, of Heaton Street, Salford. was dealing cannabis on behalf of someone else, and that he'd been provided with the drugs.
He was earning a 'modest fixed daily rate', and was dealing to feed his young family because he couldn't work due to his immigration status.
