The Carson City Sheriff’s Office is looking for two suspects who reportedly stabbed two men in an attempted robbery late Monday night or early Tuesday morning.

According to the Carson City Sheriff’s Department, the suspects knocked on an apartment door at 1600 Airport Road sometime between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m. and demanded money. When the resident opened the door, the two suspects, armed with knives, allegedly rushed him and entered the apartment.

He was able to disarm the suspect and took off a beanie that was covering the suspect’s face. Both of the suspects fled the apartment on foot.

Suspect 1 is described as a Hispanic male, wearing a gray hoodie and black pants.
