Around 4 a.m. on June 26, a man was transported to the hospital after allegedly being assaulted with a chain by a man; the alleged assault was reported near Broadway and Arapahoe Avenue. Patrol officers went to the scene but were unable to find the suspect.

Also on June 26, around 7:30 a.m., BPD said that another victim walked into the police department to file a report about a man allegedly hitting his bike with a chain.

Police stated that at 11 a.m. on June 26, officers began receiving multiple reports of chain assaults happening in the area, including 13th Street and Canyon Boulevard. The reports were ongoing from 11 a.m. until the suspect’s arrest at 4:24 p.m.
