In a strange turn of events Colorado Springs Police were called to the intersection of Cache La Poudre and N. Nevada Ave, where a man was reported to be chasing after and jumping on moving vehicles.

A CSPD employee who had just gotten off work was at the intersection when the man later identified as 22 year-old Yaw Boafo partially entered the employee's vehicle and began to attack the driver. The driver reportedly was assaulted including being bitten on the head. During the attack, the driver was able to close his car window on the attacker's arm and bite the suspect's hand which allowed the victim to shake the attacker out of his car.

Boafo was detained and subsequently arrested. Colorado Springs Police say that it is unknown at this time what prompted the attack, but the use of drugs or alcohol are suspected.
