Show DAILY UTAH CHRONICLE 8 UTES STABBED AT PARTY continued from Page I the stabbing. Meanwhile, Newman was treated and released on Sunday afternoon for two stab wounds that went about four inches into his side. "I went back into the hospital today for a follow-up, and the doctor said the wounds looked good, and I should be healed in about three weeks," Newman said. "I'm grateful that they didn't hit anything serious and that I'll be able to go back to school in a few days and back working out in a few weeks," Paul Kruger's brother, David Kruger, was on a recruiting visit when the altercation occurred and was hit in the face with a metallic object that was believed to be brass knuckles. David Kruger suffered multiple cuts that required stitches, but was treated and released. "My face is really swollen right now," David Kruger said. Kruger's father said that the three players were leaving a teammate's house with some friends when multiple carloads of people pulled up next to them and started shouting obscenities. The Krugers and Newman told the men to leave and threw a snowball at the lead car, David Kruger said. This resulted in the men jumping out of the car and assaulting the group. "We jokingly threw a snowball at the car, and they jumped out all pissed off," David Kruger said. "Things escalated, and one of the kids swung at us. A bunch of their friends came out of nowhere, and that's when Greg got stabbed and Paul got stabbed. When that happened, we all just kind of took off running." The group left the area in a car and immediately called an ambulance. The incident took place at around 11:30 p.m. Saturday night, and the Salt Lake Coun- ty Sheriffs Office arrived at the scene shortly thereafter, but the suspects had already left the area by then. "At this point, we obviously only have one side of the story, but witnesses say that the cars pulled up, and there was a verbal exchange, and that's when the men jumped out of the car and started assaulting and stabbing individuals," said Sgt. Paul Jaroscak of the Salt Lake County Sheriffs Earn "SO this week and * 2 7 5 this month donating life-saving blood plasma! Tuesday, January 22, 2008 Department. "(The investigation is) really going nowhere." Jaroscak said that a detective will be assigned to the case this morning, as many of the investigators were off duty for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. "From what Paul and David have told me, those guys were looking for a fight," Krugers' father said. Utah head coach Kyle Whit- tingham made a statement on Monday afternoon, saying that the two athletes are on a road to recovery and that the athletics department at the U has been in contact with the Salt Lake County Sheriffs Office about the incident. "It appears to be a classic example of being in the wrong place at the wrong time," Whittingham said. c.brunner@ chronicte.utah.edu American United Free WIFI - Study while you donate!
