Suspect Arrested, Wanted In Violent Attack
DENVER (CBS4)- The suspect wanted in a violent attack on the Auraria campus has been arrested. He is a juvenile and has not been identified.
University of Colorado-Denver police tweeted an update on the case on Monday morning.
Both attacks happened Nov. 22 around 7:30 p.m. The first victim was approached outside the north classroom building near Larimer Street and Speer Boulevard.
The suspect demanded money but was denied. In response he attacked, fracturing the victims face.
A few minutes later, near the Auraria library -- not far from the first attack the suspect hit another person in the face.
Police say the second victim attempted to follow the suspect but was out-run.
Police told CBS4 that several Crime Stoppers tips were received about the suspect and a warrant was drawn up when it was discovered that he was already in custody for another incident.
The suspect is a juvenile so police have not released his name or mug shot. He was arrested on Dec. 5 for felony menacing with a weapon. He remains in custody for investigation of aggravated assault in connection to the incidents on the Auraria campus.
