They were in uniform.

"There was a lot of shouting and commotion. It looked like they were having a fight. One had fallen over and was on his back and the other was standing over him. I thought he was raining punches down, but then I saw the knife.

"It was about six or seven inches long, and he was standing over him trying to get him, stabbing downwards as the other man put his arms up to defend himself.

"He was going nuts. There was a lot of shouting.

"Other staff were standing around - they didn't want to get too close because he had a massive knife."

The same witness said they saw the victim stabbed in the upper thigh, before the pair were separated.

"The guy with the leg injury had a towel wrapped around his leg, and the attacker was sitting down on the floor, still obviously very angry, with people trying to calm him down, and paper towels wrapped around his arm."
