Two men in their early 20s were stabbed multiple times in Burbank Saturday afternoon, police said.

Police responded to the 1000 block of East Angeleno Avenue at 3:50 p.m. following reports of a possible stabbing, and found the two victims -- each with multiple stab wounds -- in a car outside one of the victim’s home, said Burbank Police Sgt. Darin Ryburn.

Both men were seriously injured, and one underwent surgery Saturday evening.

The stabbing reportedly occurred a couple blocks away at Sunset Canyon Drive and Orange Grove Avenue, Ryburn said.

Further details on the incident, including whether it was a targeted attack, were not available.
No suspect has been identified.

Ryburn urged anyone with information about the incident to call Burbank police at (818) 238-3000.
