Hong Kong actor and film producer Simon Yam was stabbed in the stomach on July 20 while on stage at an event in China’s southern province of Guangdong.

A video posted on China’s Twitter-like Weibo shows a man in a dark vest rushing up to the stage during a store opening ceremony and attacking Yam repeatedly with a knife. The two engaged in a scuffle on-stage that lasted for about 10 seconds, before security guards intervened and took away the assailant.
