Police say two security guards were stabbed early Sunday morning after escorting a patron out of a downtown Salt Lake City bar.
One of the men had a wound to his back and the other to his stomach.
Police say the suspect was being kicked out because he had been in a fight with other patrons inside the bar.
The guards were in stable condition and expected to recover.
The suspect fled in a silver sedan.
