SHOCKING security footage captures a suspect embarking on a stabbing rampage at Walmart.
The individual was filmed sneaking up on unsuspecting shoppers and subsequently fleeing the scene.
Within the footage, the suspect appears to creep up behind a woman, seemingly throwing her to the ground, before pursuing another man inside the store.
Officials indicated that the incident at a Traverse County, Michigan, Walmart marked the onset of a stabbing spree.
As the video progresses, the suspect is observed rushing toward a man in a blue shirt.
In the footage, the suspect lunges at this man and runs off, leaving the victim clutching his abdomen.
The suspected attacker is Bradford Gilley, 42, according to the authorities.
After running away from the man in the blue shirt, Gilley seems to jab his hand at an elderly man, who then crashes onto the floor.
The suspect then sprints to the frozen food section, where he targets his next victim.
Gilley allegedly attacked one man by the frozen food section and another by a display of cherries.
Photos released by police show the bloody mess that Gilley left behind after his alleged stabbing spree in the Walmart.
Aaron Boudot, one of the stabbing victims, told NBC News that he was shopping with his wife and four kids when the attack occurred.
“I thought I was being punched,” he recalled.
“After the third one, I noticed this isn’t a punch, I’m being stabbed.”
Boudot recounted the harrowing experience via Zoom, where he could be seen wearing a sling around his arm.
“The only thing on my mind while I was being stabbed was, ‘Is my wife safe and are my kids safe?’” the victim said.
“I knew that I was shielding them.”
The attacker didn’t stop his stabbing spree in the store.
The suspect ran out of the Walmart and into the parking lot where he quickly stabbed a woman from behind.
The woman instantly fell to the ground as the attacker ran away.
A crowd quickly began to form, surrounding Gilley until police arrived to arrest him.
In cellphone footage of the crowd, viewers can see Gilley being corralled into a corner, with nowhere to escape.
All 11 stabbing victims survived, and Gilley, who has a history of mental health issues, was arrested by law enforcement.
The suspect pleaded not guilty to assault and terrorism charges.
