Mr Mooney said someone then “jumped out of a car”.
He said: “A guy got out of the car and said something - I don’t know what was said.
“But I remember my leg being stabbed a few times.”
He added: “I got stabbed in my leg. It was painful. Then he got me in the stomach as well.
“I can’t really remember all that much - I ended up in hospital.”
He also said he remembered his then girlfriend screaming.
Mr Mooney, who had taken £10 worth of heroin earlier that day, said he recognised the person who stabbed him as someone called “T” through drugs as someone he had bought them off.
Roy Headlam, defending Phillips, in cross examination, put it to the witness that, due to him being "high" at the time of the attack, he could not the person who stabbed him.
But Mr Mooney said he could.
Mr Headlam said Phillips was not the person who stabbed Mr Mooney and he had been "wrong and mistaken".
But Mr Mooney said he was wrong and insisted: "I know it was him who stabbed me".
Phillips, from London, denies the charges he faces.
The trial continues.
