This is the shocking moment a knife-wielding thug filmed himself chasing a terrified rival through the streets - before posting the footage online. The knifeman claimed to have stabbed the victim in the head and neck and the video was accompanied by three laughing emojis.
It is the latest in a chilling trend which sees gangs film themselves carrying out sickening attacks on rivals before posting them on social media. A 16-year-old boy told the paper: 'Everyone's posting s**t online now. Man does it for a reason. To show man what he's done. It sends a message.
'So if there's a stabbing it's sometimes filmed in the moments before. Man here got stabbed in the head but it couldn't be put on Insta because it may have shown knifeman's ID.
'So instead he shows what he's got in the moments before. This is the tip of the iceberg. There's vids being posted all the time. One commented urging youngsters to stop the violence and described their shock at watching the footage.
Another asked what the world is coming to.
Other videos posted include footage of a boy being brutally beaten by a hooded gang member and a given roup of youths punching a boy to the floor before kicking him in the face.
Britain is currently struggling with a knife crime epidemic and according to official figures the number of attacks rose by 21% during last year.
The Office of National Statistics say there were 37,443 recorded knife offences in the 12 months up to September 2017. <!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->
