The CCTV images, shot from inside and outside a Minto hair salon, allegedly show Khan hunting down victim Wayne Greenhalgh and will be shown on A Current Affair tonight.
The chilling footage appears to show the 22-year-old attempting to force his way into the salon while clutching a very large knife.
He is seen wrestling with the door handle while holding the weapon up against the glass.
In other footage, a woman and a man armed with what appears to be a large tree branch, bravely confront Khan on the front lawn of a house as he lunges at them with the knife.
Khan is allegedly trying to get to a badly injured Mr Greenhalgh, who had sought refuge inside the business just moments earlier after fleeing his attacker.
The Daily Telegraph reports that Maribel Brooks was getting her hair done when she heard the "commotion" outside the salon.
"Wayne (Greenhalgh) came rushing through the sliding door and screamed at us to lock the door," she said.
"He was covered in blood ... there was blood everywhere and we were trying to get him to sit down and relax but he kept saying he was all right."
Ms Brooks told how Khan appeared at the glass sliding door just moments after they slammed it shut and locked it.
Brandishing his knife, Khan allegedly rammed the door, headbutting the glass and screaming in Arabic, "I'm here to die."
"He was stabbing at the glass door and praying in Arabic, saying, 'Allah Akbar, this is all for Allah', and he was constantly saying the blood that had been spilt inside the shop was a beautiful sight," witness Derek Ah Chong told The Daily Telegraph.
Raymond Brooks was working in his home office when he looked outside his window and saw police yelling at a man to drop his weapon, the paper reported.

"It was happening right there in front of me, this bloke with a bit of beard, he was just standing there with this large commando knife and the male constable had him covered with the Taser and the female constable had her gun drawn," he said.
"He was talking about how we are killing his Muslim brothers and sisters and eventually the male constable was forced to fire the Taser but it didn't look like it got him fully at first because the male constable had to jump on him.
"He started struggling, straight away started struggling, and they had to get several officers involved to subdue him while the female police officer covered the knife."
