The Sioux Falls Police Department is looking for two individuals in relation to a robbery and stabbing.

SFPD said two males wearing black hooded sweatshirts went to Cubby’s truck stop at 12th Street and Petro Avenue to steal alcohol early Jan. 2.

An employee stepped in to try and prevent the men from leaving the gas station. One of the suspects then pulled out a knife and stabbed the employee in the abdomen. The two men left after that.

The employee was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Police officials said they are currently going through surveillance footage from the scene to find more information on the suspects.
