He boarded a train heading north to Westminster before Morgan pulled a machete and a key knife from his backpack near Green Park.
In a video interview released in court, Mr Porit described seeing his own case and being in a “balloon” while sitting in the carriage.
He was looking at his phone and feeling nervous from the family reunion when he heard a scream.
The next thing he knew, the defendant hit him on the head, the court said.
He raised his hand to protect himself during the attack, the jury heard.
It was like a horror movie
Describing the attack, he said, “I prayed, please stop, please stop.”
“I was in shock, it was like a horror movie. I really thought he was going to kill me.”
Mr Porit said he felt nothing but saw blood as Morgan smashed an object over his head.
He said: “He was just hitting me. It didn’t make sense. I didn’t understand why this man was hitting me. There was no confrontation. There was no problem, it was just a blow, (he) started hitting me.
“He was like a machine. It was like that Terminator movie.
“He was emotionless. There seemed to be no compassion. But he seemed very focused and ruthless, and he was just hell-bent on doing what he was doing.
“He was on a mission. He kept hitting my shin and I really thought I was going to die.
“I have nothing left now. I don’t know how I escaped. I was afraid I would lose my little finger and held it together.
“I just knew, fight or run. I just ran to save my life. It was like a collision, people were terrified.”
“The Predator Decides to Chase Me”
Morgan chased him and threw the “huge” blade out the window of the carriage’s connecting door, Mr Porit said.
Pointing the knife through the door, Morgan said, “I don’t want anyone else, I just want him,” the court heard.
Mr Porit described the machete as something from Arab Nights. He added: “It was as if he was a predator and was hunting and decided he was hunting me.”
Mr Porit said it was “so surreal” to be targeted by a stranger on a rush hour train.
“It simply came to our notice then. He was ruthless. He said he didn’t want anyone else, he just wanted me. He was nailed to me, “said Mr Porit.
He also managed to escape through the carriage door, while holding the cut parts of his arm together.
People were screaming, but they couldn’t stop Morgan, and Mr. Porit added, “It was just awful.”
In addition to a severe injury to his right arm, Mr Porit received deep bone cuts to his head and shin, jurors were told.
According to witnesses, the passengers got up and screamed when the attacker started brandishing a knife.
“Wicked Scream”
Many tried to escape, but panicked and piled up on the floor, the court heard.
One witness said the attacker let out an “wicked scream” when he struck with a machete.
He was heard to say, “This is not a terrorist attack, I only want him. I don’t want to kill you, I want to kill him, he was trying to kill me.”
Another passenger bravely tried to contact Morgan and told him to “calm down”, the court heard.
Meanwhile, a doctor on the train gave Mr. Porit first aid.
After facing the police, Morgan dropped the blade, raised his hands, and climbed to the floor.
He told police it was not a “terrorist attack”, adding: “If I had known it would cause so much drama, I would not have done it.”
Morgan had to tell a psychiatrist that he had been carrying the machete and knife around for some time.
He had an almost empty bottle of vodka in his backpack, the court heard.
Morgan, without a fixed address, refused to testify in court.
