Police are negotiating with a suspect wanted on several felony violent crime warrants who barricaded himself inside a Broomfield hotel room Thursday afternoon.
Officials confirmed that the man has been contained to a room and there is no threat to the public, but police have not yet taken him into custody.
Officers first responded to the WoodSpring Suites in the 100 block of Edgeview Drive around 11 a.m. Thursday for the suspect, wanted on several felony violent crime warrants, Broomfield Police Department officers said on social media Thursday afternoon.
While police were trying to arrest the suspect, the man threw a knife at officers, injuring one of them, who was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries, authorities said. He has since been treated and released from care.
Officials evacuated the WoodSpring Suites hotel during the incident and a SWAT team arrived to help with the response to the situation, police said.
Authorities are asking the public to avoid the immediate area around the hotel due to the amount of police and emergency vehicles at this time.
