Stabbing on Boulder Creek Path puts community on alert
Police call attack 'random'
http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/crime/stabbing-on-boulder-creek-path-puts-community-on-alert
"Officials say the 53-year-old was walking with his dog on Wednesday around 9:20 p.m. on the path when he heard footsteps behind him and felt pain.
The man ran away after the victim turned around. The victim tried to run after him but stopped when he felt that he was bleeding through his shirt.
"This is a very random attack for this area," said Shannon Cordingly, a spokesperson for the Boulder Police Department."

It is with much frustration and apprehension that I post this thread. Hopefully this first post will be the ONLY incident to write about after this.
This path is one of my favorite places to go when I go to Boulder. I was going to go here last weekend but didn't get a chance so was hoping to go this weekend. While I wouldn't be on the path at night, and while there is increased police patrol, I am totally freaked out now. WTH is wrong with people? Why the sudden increase in so many "random attacks" across our country...the men shot walking their dogs on the trail in Kansas City, the random serial shootings here in NOCO (see signature for reference)...are random attacks on the increase? I'm so glad this poor man and his dog are okay...I will feel so much better when and if they catch this guy (not holding my breath)...hopefully this is some sort of isolated incident and not the start of a random stabbing spree on local paths...this is how it started with NOCO, one incident...Posting this thread just in case this escalates.
All this violence is getting to me....
