Abdul-Latif Pouget, 20, had been sitting on a moped near Farringdon station, in London, before the brutal attack at around 9.30pm.
Dereli can be seen leaping out of a blue Ford Focus estate armed with a machete.
Pouget attempts to ride away but Dereli knocks him off his bike and knifes him multiple times.
The victim, known as Abz, was in critical condition for three days before he sadly succumbed to his injuries.

The horror had taken just 13 seconds to unfold.
Abz was the grandson of Baron Bouget, and his great-grandfather had been banker George de Vere Drummond, godson of King George VI.
The Pouget family also has links to Chateau Pouget, a winery in the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux, France.
The 20-year-old was a talented footballer and played on the left wing for Zaza FC in the Barnet Sunday Football League, the Old Bailey heard.

Cannabis dealer Dereli denied murder but was today found guilty by a jury.
The conviction is the latest on a long list, with 39 previous on his criminal record.
He was sentenced to 18 months in 2018 for a string of phone thefts in London.
Abz's brother Badruddin, delivered a moving victim impact statement in court.

He addressed the defendant in the dock and said: "Mr Dereli, when Abz was nine you had your first conviction.
"When Abz was collecting medals you were collecting bank cards and snatching phones from strangers. You were caught hiding under a mattress."

The heartbroken brother described his beloved sibling as "a young man who, unlike you, was loved for who he was, not feared for what he might do."
"I hope that justice might speak for Abz now since you never let him speak again," he added.
The victim's devastated mother, Kawsar Pouget, also paid tribute to her "kind, respectful, polite and humble" son.

"He was a talented and gifted footballer who was a role model to those younger than him. He was young intelligent and full of promise," she added.
"He bought warmth and laughter to every room. His murder shattered the natural order of things and has broken something deep within us.
"Every member of the family carries this loss. Our family gatherings now taken place at the graveside."
Prosecutors argued Dereli had been trying to steal Abz's phone at the time.

But the defendant told the court his victim had wrongly accused him of robbery and he was acting in self-defence after a confrontation ensued.
Prosecuting, Danny Robinson, told the court Abz was still sat on his moped when Dereli came at him with a machete.
"He struck him with the machete and then stabbed him with it to his right thigh. The stab wound severed an artery causing instant massive blood loss and Mr Pouget collapsed on the pavement," he told the court.
Abz tragically died in hospital three days later at 11.15am on October 21.

Police detained Dereli at the Easy Hotel on October 19, where he was staying with a woman.
The court heard his girlfriend had given birth shortly before the murder, but Dereli had not met his baby because he was "scared".
Cops were unable to locate the murder weapon but arrested Dereli on October 20.
The court heard his family of eleven were Kurdish asylum seekers who all lived in a three bedroomed council flat.

His father was unemployed and his mother was too ill to work.
Dereli, of Alexander Road, Holloway, denied but was convicted of murder and having an offensive weapon.
Judge Sarah Whitehouse said upon sentencing: "I am not satisfied this was a murder carried out in the circumstances of a robbery.
"We shall probably never know why you decided to get out of your car and run over and stab Mr Pouget."

But the judge added there had been rumours of a disagreement over a debt.
"Some of the rumours were that you and Mr Pouget had an altercation that very evening in which he had got the better of you and your friends had encouraged you to go out and seek revenge," continued the judge.
"I am satisfied you had formed the intention to cause him really serious bodily harm when you stopped and got out of your car at speed, carrying that machete.
"Your actions caused incalculable distress to Abdul-Latif Pouget's family."

Detective Chief Inspector Lucie Card, who led the Met's investigation, said: "My thoughts and that of my team remain with Abdul's family, a much loved brother, friend and neighbour.
"A young man has tragically died in a senseless and brutal way. I can only hope that this sentence can go some way in providing a sense of justice to Abdul's family."

Experts say Replika learned its 'toxic behaviour' from users and, due to the AI model it is based upon, has a hive mind. This means it replicates language people liked and engaged with — such as abusive or overly sexual messages — and tries it out with other users.

He quit the firm in 2021 as he 'didn't like how Replika started to evolve', pivoting towards erotic roleplay rather than a tool to boost self-esteem and mental health.

Brazen migrant who entered UK with ‘grotesque' child abuse videos gives thumbs up as he walks free from court
THIS is the moment a brazen migrant who entered the UK with "grotesque" child abuse images gave a thumbs up as he walked free from court. Osamah Al-Haddad, 26, was caught with three videos - including one showing a man having sex with a goat. 3 Osamah Al-Haddad gave a thumbs up as he was spared jail over child sex abuse videos Credit: Central News He originally came to the UK on a student visa but claimed asylum after fearing he would be forced to fight for the Houthis in his native Yemen. But while going through screening after flying into Heathrow, immigration officials discovered the twisted clips. Al-Haddad admitted three counts of making indecent photos of children and one count of making a pseudo-photograph of a child. But he was spared jail at Isleworth Crown Court "because of his fear of repercussions refusing to fight" in Yemen. Read more news Al-Haddad was later seen giving a thumbs up as he walked free after being filmed outside court. He also tried to deny any knowledge of the source of the videos, saying: "I don't know. I explained them (the court) everything (sic)." The court was told Al-Haddad's asylum application was pending, but he is allowed to live and work in Plymouth , Devon. John Hunter, defending, said: "Although the defendant entered the country as an asylum seeker, he is now working in a restaurant. Most read in The Sun "He receives a monthly income of around £781 a month. He gives most to his wife and child back in Yemen, and he hopes to bring them to this country to live with him." Al-Haddad, who used an Arabic interpreter during proceedings, claimed the images were sent to him by a friend on WhatsApp. Judge Fiona Barrie handed him a 30-week sentence, suspended for a year. Al-Haddad was also be made subject to a sexual harm prevention order for ten years and 150 hours of unpaid work. The judge said: "The category A video involves an act of bestiality which is grotesque and is depraved. "You should do well to remember that this is a real child who has experienced this abuse, and those are significant aggravating factors. "You claim you have no sexual interest in children and received the images from a WhatsApp group. "But I share the concerns of the pre-sentence report which state that you are not entirely honest about that. "You have had those videos saved since August 2021, in your possession to view and certainly not deleted by you."

Mum whose baby boy was thrown from car window after she drank rosé on beach & didn't strap him in properly avoids jail
A MUM has avoided jail after her baby boy was thrown from a car window and killed as he had not been properly strapped into his seat. Morgan Kiely, then 19, had been 3 Six-month-old Harry died after being thrown through a car window after the vehicle he was travelling in rolled over Credit: Facebook 3 Morgan Kiely, 22, received a two-year suspended prison sentence after being found guilty of manslaughter by gross negligence Credit: Facebook 3 Harry suffered a devastating skull fracture in the crash and died later the same evening Credit: SWNS However, as they drove away, the car rolled over and ended up on its roof. In the process of flipping, Harry was thrown from his seat, leaving the vehicle through an open window. He later died that night from "unsurvivable" injuries, including a skull fracture. Today, Kiely - now aged 22 - was handed a two-year suspended prison sentence after being found guilty of manslaughter by gross negligence. Read More on UK News Steel also previously admitted causing death by careless driving while over the drink drive limit. While Kiely chose not to give evidence at her trial, a key witness said it was "highly likely" that the straps of Harry's seat had not been secured. The trial at Chelmsford Crown Court heard how the mum had been a passenger in the front seat of Steel's motor, with Harry in the rear seat directly behind. The pair of adults had met up at about 3pm and bought three bottles of rosé wine on their way to the beach. Most read in The Sun While on the beach for several hours, they were briefly joined by Mitchell Basssett, Steel's former partner. He offered them a lift from the beach after hearing their plans to continue drinking that evening. However, they refused. Judge Robert Jay said: "Alarm bells should have been ringing in your head at that point. "You knew how much Stevie had drunk. You could and should have taken up Mitchell's offer. "A mother should not agree to travel with a drunk driver." The court heard that a distracted Steel hit a parked car while driving on Cherry Tree Avenue in the coastal town. Steel's Ford Focus had been travelling within the 30mph speed limit but rolled after hitting the static motor, eventually ending up on its roof. Both women were left hanging upside down by their seatbelts while Harry was thrown from the vehicle through an open window. Judge Jay said: "This was not an accident that was likely to happen. "Maybe 99 times out of 100 the car would not have rolled over at this sort of speed and Harry would have survived." Harry suffered a devastating skull fracture and was treated at the scene for more than an hour before he was rushed to hospital. Members of the public had come to assist at the scene, including a paediatric nurse. Despite the best efforts of medical crew to save his life at the hospital, he tragically died at about 9pm that evening. 'THIS WAS A SINGLETON FAILURE' In the trial, the jury reviewed a 999 call from the scene, an officer's bodycam footage, an expert witness who explained how the child car seat worked, and evidence from Mr Bassett. Judge Jay told Kiely: "Harry's safety was your responsibility. It should have been your primary concern that day." He said her negligent conduct that day was a lapse in her otherwise good care of Harry. "I think that it is obvious to everyone in this courtroom that you were a very good mother to Harry in all respects, and that this was a singleton failure," the judge said. The court heard Kiely had given up her job as a carer and now has a four-month-old baby. Benjamin Summers, defending, had read out statements to the court describing Kiely as a "devoted and loving mother" to Harry, and who was "deeply caring". The court heard she had taken Harry on trips to Liverpool and Scotland in his short life to visit relatives, and had recently returned to work as a carer. The jury heard from an expert witness earlier in the trial about the child car seat and how it is designed to work. The witness said it was highly unlikely but not impossible the straps of the seat had been secured in the car. Mr Summers said: "Dreadful, dreadful, dreadful error, it was, but, we say, not making her grossly negligent at the time. "We say it is not as simple as saying the failure to secure a child in a car seat, full stop, is enough."
