One service station worker, who did not want to be unidentified, saw the injured jogger bleeding.

He ran more than 150 metres down the road to the petrol station and left behind a trail of blood.

“He was holding his tummy,” the worker said.

“I gave him a towel and paper towel to hold it, asked him to sit down and finally he sat down and then [the bleeding] stopped a little bit.”
