Description
A suspect is in custody after an attack injured multiple people on the Pearl Street Mall Sunday afternoon, Boulder police chief Stephen Redfearn said.
Redfearn said around 1:26 p.m., police got multiple calls about people being set on fire in the area of the courthouse, at 1235 Pearl Street. Officers found multiple victims with burns and other injuries.
Miri Kornfeld, an organizer with Stand With Us, which holds weekly walks to raise awareness of Israeli hostages, told 9NEWS the group was walking on Pearl Street on Sunday afternoon. When they arrived at the historic courthouse in the area of 13th and Pearl streets, a man was waiting there with bottles, Kornfeld said. He threw the bottles, and five people were burned, including one woman who was badly burned and had to roll on the ground to put the fire out, she said.
People on the scene pointed out a suspect to officers, Redfearn said, and that man was taken into custody without incident. He was taken to the hospital with minor injuries, Redfearn said. Police are not yet releasing his name.
Redfearn said investigators are still working to determine how many people were injured. Multiple people were taken to Boulder Community Hospital, and some were transferred to other hospitals, Redfearn said.
UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital in Aurora said they have received two patients from the attack.
