YONKERS, N.Y. (WABC) -- Police are investigating a possible robbery attempt at a gas station in Yonkers that left one man stabbed and another shot.

The incident happened just after 9 a.m. at a Citgo station on Saw Mill River Road.

The exact details are unknown, but it appears that a man stabbed the gas station worker, who then shot the robber.

Arriving officers found a 48-year-old male Yonkers resident with multiple stab wounds to his torso, and a second male, approximately 18 years of age, with two gunshot wounds to his torso. Both were transported to a trauma center in the Bronx. At last report, both were in surgery.

At this point, it is unclear if the altercation was a robbery or some sort of dispute.
