COLORADO SPRINGS — A man is in the hospital after the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) responded to a park ranger at Garden of the Gods reporting a nude man holding a knife on Monday. He had cut his hand, stabbed himself in the right eye, and was covered in blood, according to CSPD.
Officers used pepper spray and a "soft shield" to remove the knife from his possession after unsuccessful negotiation tactics.
The man was taken to a local hospital and was treated for "sawing through his right hand and stabbing himself in the right eye," according to a report by CSPD.
No officers were injured, according to CSPD.
