This is the graphic video showing a man who was stabbed while he was a passenger in a taxi in Galway city displaying bloodied torso wounds from the knife attack.
The man shows his injuries to the camera while staff ask him to lie down. He moves a bandage out of the way to give a better view of the damage before focusing on an open wound for a few seconds.
The brief clip ends with the man complying with the request and laying back down.

The clip is believed to be related to an incident in Galway city where two men were taken to hospital after a confrontation between a number of passengers while in a taxi on Monday on the Newcastle Road at around 1am on Monday morning.
The incident is understood to have happened when a taxi had picked up three men in the city before a knife was produced, leading to two men being hospitalised.
Speaking about one of the men, a taxi driver (not the man in the video) - who was stabbed in the incident - manager of Big O Taxis, Frank Fahy told Galway Bay FM: "He's one of our top drivers and he goes over and above his duty as a driver, looking after customers.
"He works nights and weekends and to think that this could happen to him while he's going about his normal work is unacceptable. I suppose it's the reality of life today and it's an issue that we taxi drivers have to deal with on an ongoing basis. The incident was nothing to do with the driver, he was just doing his job."
A gardai spokesperson said: "Gardaí are investigating a reported assault which occurred on Newcastle Road, Galway shortly before 1:00am on Monday 18th July 2022.
"Two males attended University Hospital Galway for treatment of their injuries. No arrests have been made at this time. Enquiries are ongoing."
