A man was struck down by masked attackers armed with swords and knives in front of a six-year-old girl on roller skates, a court has heard.
Joshua White, 29, was chased along a street in Hackney, north-east London, on the afternoon of April 26 2019, the Old Bailey was told.
As he sought refuge in Frampton Foods, a corner shop, he was fatally stabbed and collapsed soon afterwards.
A school girl on pink roller skates, who was waiting for her father outside the store, was sent flying and was knocked to the floor during the chase, jurors heard.
Prosecutor Jonathan Higgs QC told the court: They chased Joshua White towards Frampton Foods, knocking the six-year-old girl flying in the process.
