Police: Man stabbed after allegedly attacking another with deadly weapon in Colorado Springs
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) – A man was arrested Wednesday after police say he assaulted another person with a weapon before being stabbed himself in northern Colorado Springs.
According to the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD), at around 6:07 p.m. on Oct. 29, officers were sent to the 7100 Block of Commerce Center Drive, near the intersection of I-25 and Woodmen Road, to investigate a stabbing.
Police say initial information indicated that an unknown person had been stabbed, with a possible suspect still inside the building.
Officers spoke with the stabbed male, who was later identified as 45-year-old Vaughn Oseth. He was transported to a local hospital to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
CSPD said police then went inside the building, where they found the other man and detained him after a brief struggle.
However, police say an investigation revealed that Oseth had physically assaulted the other man with what police called a "deadly weapon" before he was stabbed. Due to those findings, Oseth was booked into the El Paso County Jail, where he faces a charge for second-degree assault, CSPD confirmed.
Police have not yet released the name of the other man involved. The investigation is ongoing.
