Friends said the teenager changed after reading the books, trying to show his strength by wearing T-shirts in freezing weather and provoking fights.

Sickening footage shows the teenager - identified only as Igor K - wandering around a supermarket in Ufa, south western Russia.

Wearing a dark jacket and hat, he pretends to be a normal customer.

He disappears off camera for a second, then supermarket manager Veronika Ilyicheva appears on screen, running for her life with Igor chasing her.

Customers seem slow to realise what is happening and simply step aside.

The attacker is then seen stabbing at an unidentified female cashier.

Ms Ilyicheva, who was stabbed in the stomach, said: "I started running away from the attacker together with other people. I ran out on to the street, hid behind a dumpster then fell into a snowdrift. I felt blood from my belly on my hands."

She was rushed to hospital and underwent a complex operation, but her current condition is not known.

There are no details about the other victim’s injuries.

Igor K was arrested at the scene and taken into custody.

During interrogation, he told police his motive was to see the death of a human being.

The teenager said he was reading one of George RR Martin’s novels when he took the kitchen knife and went to the supermarket, intending to stab someone and watch his victim suffer.

Igor's friends told local media he is an obsessive fan of the fantasy books and the TV series based on them.

One friend, who preferred to stay anonymous, said: "Three years ago he became a fan of the Game of Thrones series and books.

"He has changed since then. He said that the world should be cleansed of weak people; that only strong ones deserve to live."

According to his friends, Igor was constantly trying to prove his strength and toughness.

Igor is in prison pending a court hearing and is due to be examined by psychiatrists.

His parents were described as "shocked" and declined to comment.
