"I guess they knocked me unconscious pretty quick," said the victim, Scott, whose last name is being withheld.

He was beaten and stabbed twice as he and two friends walked back to their car after leaving the downtown club Latitudes Wednesday night. One knife wound grazed the membrane around his kidney and the other narrowly missed his spine.

Scott never exchanged a word with the six men who attacked him, but he said, right away, he knew there was trouble.

"They walked over toward me and I remember looking at one of the guys. I knew what they were going to do," Scott said.

The men had first tried to stop to talk to one of the women Scott came down to the club with in the parking lot. When they got verbally abusive, she sped off. Scott didn't get that chance.

"They were looking for a fight and I'm the only guy there," Scott said.

Mercifully, Scott blacked out and his friends were on the phone to Orlando police. They arrived in time to see two of the suspects dash off toward a construction area. Witnesses helped identify John Presinger, John Robinson and Michael Proie as suspects. All three are now charged with aggravated battery with great bodily harm.

"It was such a random thing. They probably couldn't tell you what I look like. It was like that," Scott commented.

Two of the suspects also face trespassing charges for heading onto a construction site to avoid police.
