4 Stabbed Outside Rescue Mission

By Jamie Leary
DENVER (CBS4)- Four people are recovering after they were stabbed outside the Denver Rescue Mission early Monday morning.

Police responded to the corner of Park Avenue and Lawrence Street just before 4 a.m. to find the injured victims.

A witness to the incident told CBS4 that it started as an altercation between a man and his girlfriend and when others tried to intervene, the man pulled out a knife.

The four people stabbed were transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Police say during their search for the suspect, a man they believed was connected to the crime returned to the scene. They took him into custody but are only calling him a "possible suspect" at this time.
