Four Tooele residents were arrested, and one remains in critical condition, after they allegedly attempted to rob a Tooele woman Sunday, according to police.
The 20-year-old victim of the robbery called a friend for a ride and was picked up in a large van around 2:30 a.m., according to a news release from the Tooele City Police Department.
Once inside the van, the victim, whose name was not released, was assaulted by two women inside after they demanded her property, police said.
During the assault, the victim stabbed a 22-year-old female suspect with a pocket knife, in self-defense, according to police. After the stabbing, the victim was able to exit the vehicle, the release said.
The suspect who was stabbed was taken to a local hospital then transported to a Salt Lake area hospital in critical condition, police said. There are charges pending against the suspect, whose name was not released, for her involvement in the robbery, according to the release.
Three other suspects were arrested and booked into the Tooele County Detention Facility on robbery and other related charges, police said. Johnnie Bear, Rachel Myers and Gregory Kissinger, all Tooele residents, are the suspects being held in the jail, the release said.
The investigation into the robbery is still ongoing, according to Tooele City Police.
