Video has been released of the moment a US police officer was stabbed multiple times after trying to stop a homeless man set fire to a petrol station.
The 54-year-old officer, Mario Gutierrez, survived the 2013 attack with stab wounds to his back, chest, arm and leg.
His attacker, 51-year-old Dominique Jean, was shot after the film ends.
Jean can be seen at the start of the video attempting to drag a petrol hose towards the center of the service station's concourse.
Once officer Gutierrez arrives on the scene, Jean grabs an 8-inch knife and screwdriver before setting upon him.
Having survived the attack, officer Gutierrez remembered little of the incident before seeing the video.
"Eighty percent of what I saw in the video, I don't remember," he told NBC News. "It was an opportunity to find closure to all these blanks, things I had in my mind."
Once recovered and back at work, the officer was awarded the Law Enforcement Congressional Badge of Bravery in April this year.
