A man has described the terror he felt while allegedly being raped by an attacker who then slit his throat and stabbed him a number of times.

Abdul Malik, 29, is said to have tried murdering his victim after inviting him to his home in Dymchurch in January.

His trial at Canterbury Crown Court was told Malik struck up a conversation with the man on Facebook prior to the attack.

Speaking from behind a screen, the victim told jurors Malik barricaded them both inside his bedroom with a chair and raped him on January 11.

Fighting back tears, he added Malik attempted to rape him again, then drew a blade from under his pillow and raised it to his neck.

“He pinned me down on the left hand side of my chest and slashed at my throat,” he said, adding he was cut five times, with the pain feeling like “barbed wire”.

“At that stage I was aware I was going to be killed in that room - he proceeded to stab my abdomen.

“I was screaming for help, begging for him to stop, but he was just silent.”

He described how he hoped Malik’s housemates would rush to his aid during the sustained assault, which “seemed like forever”.

The man said Malik “suddenly stopped” the attack, removed the chair blocking the door and “let me go”.

“Shock kicked in, I just became numb. At the time I thought it was just the neck [which had been attacked],” he said.

He described grabbing his coat, running past a gathering of people outside Malik’s room and falling down the stairs.

After reaching his vehicle in a car park opposite the property, he dialled 999, then crashed into nearby railings in a bid to escape.

He told jurors he waited 25 minutes for emergency services to arrive, adding: “I thought I was going to die; either die by bleeding out or someone coming back to the car and attacking me again.”

“Were you aware your genitals had been attacked?,” prosecutor Martin Yale asked.

“No,” he replied.

“When did you find out?,” Mr Yale continued.

“When I was in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.”

The man was rushed to London’s King’s College Hospital in Denmark Hill and treated for 12 stab wounds.

The court heard doctors worked to close knife wounds to the victim’s throat, upper arm, chest, five injuries to the abdomen, his back, inner thigh and multiple wounds to his genitalia.

He was transferred to intensive care to recover from “14 areas of sharp force injury” including “defensive injuries,” the prosecutor said.

Malik, of High Street, denies attempted murder, rape and attempted rape.

He was arrested in Green Meadows , Dymchurch, at about 2.20am on January 12 and remanded into custody.

In his opening speech on Thursday, Mr Yale told jurors: “The prosecution say, given the nature and ferocity of the attack - the attack included slashing the victim’s throat - Abdul Malik could only have intended one thing, to kill his victim.”

Giving evidence yesterday on Tuesday,the former Aspendos kebab shop worker said he “doesn’t know” what happened on the evening of January 11.

His barrister Danny Moore, asked him: “Have you ever raped the complainant?”

'At that stage I was aware I was going to be killed in that room - he proceeded to stab my abdomen...'

“No - always consensual. I never force anyone,” the Afghanistan national replied, with the aid of an interpreter.

“When you were in the room with him did you have sex?” Mr Moore asked.

“I don’t really remember if I had sex with him or not,” he replied.

When Mr Moore asked Malik to describe how the alleged victim became injured, he replied:“Well I don’t know what happened that night - I don’t know really, I can’t figure it out.”

Asked how the complainant’s blood was transferred to his own clothes, he said: “I don’t know, really.”

Mr Moore continued: “Did you use that knife on him?

“I don’t know. I don’t know what happened that night, I don’t know,” Malik said.

The trial continues.
