"You need to put pressure on it, or you're going to die," said a bystander in the video to the suspect.
"Please don't let me die," said the robber at one point in the video.

He said the employee came to the barbershop for help.
“He banged on the glass real quick just to get our attention,” said Brian Alverenga, the barber, to Action News Jax on Wednesday. “He said the guy tried to stab him over the counter and said he was going to kill him.”
