Seconds later, he said the man punched him in the face - knocking him to the ground. Dibartolo said his attacker proceeded to kick him in his face before pulling out a knife to stab him.
The entire incident was caught on camera.
He said he was stabbed twice: once in his leg and once in his rear. He also suffered a head injury.
