HERRIMAN — A 37-year-old man is in critical condition after being stabbed during a fight at a park in Herriman on Thursday.
The stabbing happened at the K9 Memorial Dog Park, 5105 W. Herriman Main, near the city hall building and police station, Herriman police said.
Herriman Police Sgt. Josh Jennings said two men were involved in an altercation at 5:40 p.m. that turned physical.
During the fight, one man, 61, pulled out a pocket knife and stabbed the other multiple times. The man who had been stabbed was taken to a hospital via ambulance in critical condition.
"Any time we have an assault where a weapon is involved ... all of our officers are responding as fast as they can to obviously preserve life and stop the threat," Jennings said.
Investigators arrested the man believed to have stabbed the other man. He was described as "compliant" with officers.
Officers were still investigating the incident late Thursday. Multiple witnesses at the scene provided statements to detectives, police said.
Additional information — including the identities of the two men — was not immediately available.
