The victim and his brother got out of their vehicle and three of the men attacked the victim while the other two attacked his brother. The victim's brother eventually escaped and helped the victim get back into their vehicle and flee.
When the victim realized he had been stabbed, his brother drove him to get help at a nearby Circle K, located at 3600 West 5400 South.
The victim was stabbed multiple times on multiple areas of his body, police said. He was transported by ambulance to Intermountain Medical Center in extremely critical condition.
