Stabbing on Colorado trail leaves 1 seriously hurt, suspect identified

One person was seriously injured in a stabbing on a trail in Boulder, and authorities in the Colorado city say they have identified the suspect. The stabbing happened on Wednesday morning near Flagstaff Mountain and involved two males.

Officials from the Boulder County Sheriff's Office said the stabber confronted the victim on Chapman Drive at the Tenderfoot Trail and stabbed him multiple times with a knife. Afterward he ran to the parking lot in the Realization Point area at the top of Flagstaff Mountain. Sheriff's deputies and open space rangers tried to find him but were unable to.

On Thursday, investigators said that the suspect had been identified but the identity is not being released "due to the on-going nature of the investigation."

Deputies said they "do not believe there is a threat to the public at this time" and that all involved are cooperating with the investigation.
