Mark Baker has a great answer, but to add.

Chapters, sections and paragraphs can be used to jump between POV, and the narrators. I personally think that these can be used, but there is a risk of a mess. Chapters are fairly easy jumping points, because those are the most concrete. The readers accept time jumps and completely different scenes, when the chapter is changed. They are low risk place to make such jumps. With more careful planning you can go deeper to the levels of text, possibly even to within sentence jumps.

> "STOP", but the enemies do not stop; because they already surrounded him, which he was not aware.

Such sentence makes sense, but it is tricky to make an easily understood story written this way.
