COLORADO SPRINGS – Saturday evening around 6 p.m., CSPD received a call reporting a large fight at a hotel in the 1400 block of South Nevada Ave.

CSPD said when officers arrived, they located a man bleeding from multiple wounds and rendered aid until CSFD and AMR arrived on the scene.

A second victim returned to the scene a short time later after following the suspects and was also bleeding.

Both victims were transported to area hospitals for treatment of their injuries. CSPD said one of the victims suffered serious injuries but is stable following surgery.
