Police say a man was stabbed in the chest Wednesday afternoon during a robbery on a Salt Lake City street.

A man was walking near 800 S. Main St. when an older Toyota Camry pulled up and a female inside asked him if she could use his phone, according to Salt Lake City police.

When the man walked to the passenger-side window and gave her his phone, a male suspect came out of the car, brandished a sharp object and demanded the man's money, according to the police.

"The victim said he had no money and the suspect stabbed him in the chest," according to a police news release. The car then drove off.

The man was taken to the hospital in serious condition, and later improved.
