Orange County deputies are looking for the armed men who robbed two men and stabbed one of them.

Deputies received a call about a robbery around 12:30 a.m. Wednesday from the Waterview apartments off U.S. 17-92, just north of Americana Boulevard.

A man told deputies he had been pistol-whipped and then stabbed multiple times by three men who robbed him.

After arriving on scene, another man ran to deputies, saying he had been robbed moments earlier.

"They approached him. They had guns and knives and robbed him. We were able to speak to the victim, who was stabbed, at the hospital and he corroborated that story," said Paul Hopkins from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies immediately began searching for the suspects, who were last seen running to the back of the complex.

A helicopter unit was used in the search, but deputies were unable to locate the suspects.

Both victims said the men were wearing dark clothing.
