COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- Police spent hours Monday night trying to find a suspect in the 3000 block of Mallard Drive in southeast Colorado Springs.

Police say at one point there was a standoff between officers and a criminal suspect. CSPD later said the suspect was wanted for a reported stabbing with a machete.

Officers found one victim and had to use a tourniquet on his left arm due to a wound that almost severed his hand, according to the CSPD report.
