**A homeless man in New York City who was stabbed after coming to a woman’s aid was left to die while passers-by ignored him, CCTV footage has shown.**Police said that at least 25 people walked past Hugo Alfredo Tale-Yax as he bled to death on a pavement in Queens.
The 31-year-old from Guatemala was repeatedly stabbed by a man as he intervened during the attack last week.
The footage shows it was an hour and a half before somebody tried to rouse him and contacted the emergency services.
In the security camera video, a woman is followed by a man, who then appears to attack her.
Mr Tale-Yax walks toward them. Off-camera he is stabbed several times while trying to help the woman.
The camera captures the apparent attacker running away.
Mr Tale-Yax gives chase but collapses. He is seen lying in the street fatally wounded, as several people walk past him.
Relatives of Mr Tale-Yax said he had recently lost his job and his home.This article is from the BBC News website. © British Broadcasting Corporation, The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites.
