Horrified shoppers witnessed the attack and saw emergency services working on the injured man.
He was rushed to hospital with "serious" stab wounds, and a man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.
One eyewitness told the Sun: “The guy was on the floor, and covered in blood. It happened on the first floor of the shopping centre.
