This is the horrifying moment a man was stabbed in the neck by a stranger after accidentally bumping into him in a subway station in France.
The chilling encounter took place shortly after the attacker disembarked a train at the Guillotière metro station in Lyon on Sunday.
He is seen on CCTV footage exiting the platform and walking towards the stairs, just as another man accidentally stumbles into him.
They appear to share a brief exchange before the attacker chases after the stranger and plunges a knife into his neck.
He then casually walks away, while the victim places his hand on the wound and looks around in confusion – seemingly unaware he has just been stabbed.
The attacker immediately fled the scene after the attack and police are now desperately searching for the suspect, Frontières media reported.
Meanwhile, the victim was treated by emergency services at the scene and taken to hospital, it added.
One source told Frontières it was a ‘miracle’ the man survived the attack and took just five days off work to recover.

However, it is unknown how severe his injuries were.

They told Lyon Mag: ‘An investigation is open and all services are mobilized to find the perpetrator.’
