One two-year stint in jail came after a racially-fuelled fight outside the Crown and Thistle pub in Northiam, East Sussex, which left a man needing 20 stitches to the face.
Former friend Lee Lawrence tried to pacify Masood that day, but soon found the rage directed at him.
“He had the knife against my throat and he is going, ‘I want some blood, I want some f***ing blood, I want to kill someone’,” the 47-year-old told
The Telegraph.
“After he calmed down a bit he was saying, ‘What have I done? What am I doing? I am going for help, I just want blood or I want to kill someone’.
