Father fatally stabbed outside shops

A woman and her baby may be in danger after they were seen fleeing with a suspected murderer who stabbed a man outside an Adelaide shopping centre.

The victim, a 25-year-old man from Blakeview, was stabbed in the chest at the Elizabeth shopping centre on Thursday and later died in Royal Adelaide Hospital.

Witnesses say the attacker ran off accompanied by a woman pushing a pram with an infant.

SA police believe the attack wasn't random and they're worried about the woman and baby's safety.

"We're obviously concerned about their welfare as well, being that he appears to be armed and obviously quite enraged and violent," SA police spokeswoman Senior Constable Rebecca Stokes told ABC radio on Friday.

"So we're really hoping to find him as soon as possible."

The suspect has been described as a slim caucasian man in his late 20's, with short brown hair and blue eyes.
