The two-minute video shows how he struggled and desperately asked for help before falling to the ground and getting on his knees and elbows, according to the Daily Mail.
When he was attacked, Lee, 43, was strolling through the progressive city's posh Rincon Hill area early on Tuesday morning.
The dying tech tycoon repeatedly and desperately tried to flag down passing automobiles, only to watch in despair as they sped away, as shown in the Bob Lee video.
A terrible murder in the district of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a staunch Democrat, has sparked concern over public safety and rising homelessness in San Francisco.
Lee, a former San Franciscan who left the city due to rising crime, can be seen in the first scene of the disturbing footage, wobbling along Main Street in the aftermath of the stabbing.
