A man slit his own throat with a Stanley knife in a busy branch of Woolworths and bled to death in front of horrified staff.

The shocking scenes happened on Thursday as the store in the centre of Penzance, Cornwall, was packed with shoppers.

Witnesses said the 23-year-old local man had been seen stalking the streets and threatening passers-by. He then went into the shop and made for the hardware section where the grabbed the knife and began brandishing it at terrified customers.

Staff managed to guide families away from the man and out of the shop. They then tried to reason with him while a 999 call was made.

But the man then turned the knife on himself and slashed at his neck. He died minutes later after cutting a major artery.

2. Proof that gun control doesn't work!

Not even to prevent suicide! People will just go into Woolworths and ...

I can actually imagine opponents of gun control using this incident to support their position.
