An armed suspect got away after assaulting someone in Denver, and police say they still haven't tracked the person down. The Denver Police Department confirmed officers responded to reports of the assault, but the suspect fled before anyone could be taken into custody.
What Police Have Confirmed So Far
According to a statement from the Denver Police Dept.
, officers responded to reports of an assault that occurred, and the suspect was reported to have been armed and fled the location. The department said officers did not locate the suspects and that no arrests have been made in connection with the incident.
Police described the investigation into what led to the assault as ongoing, but the department's post did not specify where in the city the assault happened, who was involved, what kind of weapon was reportedly involved, or the condition of anyone hurt. Those details remain unclear based on the information police have released.
A Separate Report Names a Nearby Address
A separate alert from citizen.com, published the previous evening, reported that police had received a report of a person assaulted in the 2600 block of Southwest Holden Street. That report and the police department's own statement were not explicitly tied together in the information released, so it's not confirmed whether the two describe the same incident.
For now, the case remains open, with investigators still working to determine what led up to the assault and whether the armed suspect who fled the scene can be identified. Anyone with information has not been given specific instructions by police in the statement reviewed, and residents with immediate safety concerns are urged to call or text 911.
