He can be seen walking into the store at around 10.40am on the morning of the attack, before appearing to look at what different knives were available to buy.

The clip then shows him purchasing the offending weapon at the counter - a £1.50 knife.

Footage then shows Chevelleau heading towards the main mall in the Arndale where he carried out his horrific attack.
