Shocking new video obtained by The Post shows the harrowing moment Manhattan bodega worker Jose Alba may have been stabbed himself while fending off and fatally slashing a violent ex-con who attacked him.

In the chilling footage, Alba, 61, battles back and slashes career criminal Austin Simon inside the Manhattan bodega July 1 — as the former convict’s girlfriend appears to pull a knife from her purse and try to stab the worker.

Simon was later pronounced dead, while Alba was charged with his murder.

The footage provides a new view of the bloody exchange. Simon’s unidentified girlfriend has not been charged in the case.

The new footage shows Simon, 35, from a different angle going behind the counter and confronting Alba, who then scuffles with the younger man and pulls a knife from a candy shelf.

Alba is seen repeatedly stabbing Simon and, after a few moments, the woman who has been identified as Simon’s girlfriend appears to take a knife from her purse and try to stab the worker.

The new footage shows Simon then laying to the back of the register in a pool of blood. Alba is seen in the background still holding the bloody knife.
