COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- A 21-year-old pregnant female and a good Samaritan are hospitalized after being attacked and assaulted by a man with a large rock.

CSPD responded to the active disturbance on Las Vegas St. near the Springs Rescue Mission on Sunday afternoon.

When officers arrived at the scene, two victims were found bleeding along the road.

According to the police report, a preliminary investigation revealed the suspect, 20-year-old Brandon Getz attacked the 21-year-old pregnant female and hit her with a rock. Police believe Getz was in a relationship with the victim.

As the scene progressed, a good Samaritan intervened on behalf of the victim but Getz then hit the good Samaritan also with a large rock.

The female victim and the good Samaritan were rushed to the local hospital for care from their injuries. Neither of them experienced life-threatening injuries and both are expected to recover.

Getz fled the scene after the attack and police are searching for him. Getz faces pending charges for attempted murder and felony assault.

The Springs Rescue Mission issued this statement following the attack:

"The hearts of all staff and leadership at Springs Rescue Mission go out to the victims of this terrible incident, as well as their families and friends. 

SRM’s security department was notified of the incident near our campus yesterday afternoon. Our security guards responded immediately upon notification. The suspect fled the scene — which was not on SRM property — before they arrived on location. Security guards then helped both victims seek emergency services that led to their hospitalization.

The extent of the victims’ injuries and any other aspects of the incident itself are a matter of Colorado Springs Police Department investigation. They will handle the dissemination of all pertinent information. Springs Rescue Mission staff and leadership are whole-heartedly committed to CSPD in their investigation."
