Newly released surveillance video shows a Bronx bodega owner attempting to save a 15-year-old from machete-wielding marauders.

Modesto Cruz, the embattled owner of the Cruz and Chiky store in Tremont, released security footage taken in his store, capturing the moment Lesandro “Junior” Guzman-Feliz raced inside, trying to hide from his eventual killers.

Cruz said he didn’t initially understand why Guzman-Feliz wanted to jump over the counter.

But then he recognized Guzman-Feliz, saw the fear in his face and helped him jump over the counter looking for safety, the video showed.

“I just feel very, very bad,” Cruz told WPIX. “I do remember his face. He was so scared.”

Guzman-Feliz could be seen peering out from behind the counter in terror, before a man leads attackers inside the store.

The footage showed Guzman-Feliz being beaten and dragged out of the store where he’s hacked to death.
