An Alberta man is speaking out after he was brutally attacked outside a shopping centre on the Tsuut'ina First Nation earlier this month.
"I felt extremely scared. I thought I was never going to see my mom and my family again," Zubayer Rifat said.
The attack happened in the parking lot of the Dollarama on Buffalo Run Boulevard around 5 p.m. on Jan. 14.
While putting items in his car, Rifat says a man approached him with a gun in one hand and a hammer in the other.
"He said, 'Get inside the car, don't move … or I'll shoot you,'" Rifat said.
Rifat says his instincts told him not to, so he backed away and asked him what he wanted.
That's when he says the man came toward him with the hammer.
