Police Investigate Stabbing In CU Campus Area, Joshua Davis Arrested

BOULDER, Colo. (CBS4) --  University of Colorado Boulder police are investigating a possible stabbing on campus that was reported on Thursday afternoon. Boulder police made an arrest just hours later.

Campus police says the incident reportedly happened about 12:30 p.m., at Broadway and Marine Street, in the area of the Andrews Arboretum.

The victim, and adult male, told police he was stabbed in the wooded area along the bike path that traverses down University Hill, from Main Campus. He was rushed to the hospital and remained in stable condition on Thursday evening.
