Bouncers pulled Mr Francis-Kerr away, but Mr Wilson told the court he had no idea he had been stabbed, adding that afterwards his friend wanted to leave the club so they tried the front door, which was locked, and then used a fire exit. The pair and a female friend got into Mr Wilson's Audi and left, but returned to retrieve a phone the female friend said she had left behind. While waiting for her, his friend said "something along the lines of 'I think I got him' - I asked, what do you mean? I said what do you mean you've stabbed him? I didn't even know until he told me. Mr Wilson said he did not know there had been a stabbing, but he "kind of took him seriously" then they spoke no more about it. There was no need to do anything like that, it wasn't that serious," he added.
