Store worker stabbed by would-be thieves

An employee of an Albertson's store was stabbed Sunday by two men asking for money outside the store.

The employee, 18, was walking into the store, 2300 E. 2040 South, when the men approached and asked if he had $5, said Salt Lake police detective Isi Tausinga.

The employee said no. That's when one man punched the victim and the other stabbed him in the torso and arm, Tausinga said.

The employee was in stable condition Monday and police were looking for the attackers.
