Slumped on the floor watching his blood pour out, Tariq Sheik feared these would be his last moments.
The dad was scared would die after he was struck with a machete. He suffered horrific injuries when armed raiders Ricky Weatherson and Michael Quinn burst into his shop and threatened him before hitting him with the fearsome blade.
The blow was so forceful it shattered a bone in his shoulder and he was left bleeding on the shop floor. Five years on from the attack, Tariq has recalled the frightening episode to Chronicle Live.
