A naked man with stab wounds who claimed he’d been ‘tortured’ was seen knocking on doors begging for help after he was ‘attacked inside a Perth apartment’.
The blood soaked man, believed to be in his forties, was captured on CCTV barely able to walk and yelling ‘please help’, before he collapsed near to the intersection of Orrong Road and Wright Street in Carlisle about 8.30pm on Friday.
The unclothed man had left a trail of blood in his wake, which led back up three flights of stairs to an apartment nearby.

Witnesses have recounted hearing the man’s desperate pleas for help, in which he claimed he had been the victim of torture.
‘I heard someone call “help me, help me, help me,” you know?’ Abdullah Alnaqi told 7NEWS.
‘Someone was just calling out my driveway “I’ve been tortured”,’ a second witness named Matthew Burkett said.
‘The guy was naked and had cuts all over him and there was blood coming off him everywhere.’
