Denver police say one person was found and taken to a hospital after a reported stabbing in the 2800 block of North Eliot Street on Wednesday. The department has not released the victim's condition as detectives continue to work the case.

The Denver Police Department put out an initial alert on X, noting that officers were investigating a reported stabbing in the 2800 block of N. Eliot Street and that "updates will be posted to this thread" as more information becomes available, according to the Denver Police Dept. The post also warned that details could change as the investigation moves forward.

What police are asking

Investigators are asking anyone who might have information, photos, or video related to the incident to step up and contact them. "Investigators are working to develop suspect information," the department wrote on X, as posted by the Denver Police Dept. For emergencies, police say to call or text 911; for non-emergency police services or to share tips, call 720-913-2000.

Where this happened

The 2800 block of North Eliot runs through north Denver near the Jefferson Park and Highland neighborhoods, a mostly residential stretch of row houses and small apartment buildings, according to local property listings and Realtor.com.

Denver has seen several knife attacks this year, including three stabbings reported on a single day in March, highlighting ongoing concerns about violent incidents in the city, per the Denver Gazette.

For now, details in the Eliot Street case remain limited while detectives process the scene and follow up on leads. Authorities say they will release new information through their X thread and are again urging anyone with tips to contact Denver Police or call 911 in an emergency.
