Investigation ongoing after man stabbed in southern Colorado Springs

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) – Colorado Springs police are investigating after they say a man was stabbed by an unidentified suspect on the south side of town.

According to the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD), at around 9:45 p.m. on July 3, officers responded to the 1600 block of South Nevada Avenue after receiving reports of a stabbing.

When they arrived, officers found an injured adult male who was treated on scene by medics, CSPD said.

According to police, the man was injured during an "altercation" with a suspect, who has not yet been identified.

Notably, this stabbing happened just hours after a shooting in the same area at the Nevada Inn and Suites. During that incident, a man accidentally shot and injured a dog owner when he shot and killed the victim's dog.
