no, you must distract him throwing bricks to the other side of the "room" and head downstairs, when he sees you trying to "escape" down the stairs he'll run towards you running over it...making him run over it a few times should do the trick, now I don't recall how many times or if you have enough bricks handy to do this or if you need to search for other stuff...but other than the stabbing this should be all.
p.s. check
this, he just gets him to chase the guy over the grating.....
aaaaaaah, good old memories......
