WARREN, Mich. -- A Michigan man walked into a diner with a 5-inch knife in his chest and placed a beverage order, Detroit television station WDIV reported.

Warren police said the 52-year-old man called 911 around 10 p.m. saying he had been attacked in Warren but then walked a mile to Bray’s Hamburgers in Hazel Park.

Restaurant employee George Mirdita said the man walked in, ordered a coffee and told him he was waiting for an ambulance to come.

“It was like out of a movie,” Mirdita said. “It kind of freaked us all out here. The customers realized it and they were all turning their heads in disgust.”

The man told police he was walking when another man approached him and demanded cash. When he refused to hand over any money, he was stabbed.

Police said the man called 911 from a pay phone after failing to get help at a nearby apartment complex.

The man was treated and police said he is expected to be fine.

The man told police his attacker was tall and had a goatee.
