An Englewood police officer opened fire on a man who attempted to stab an employee but stabbed another officer at a Denny’s just past midnight early Monday morning.

At around 12:35 a.m., officers responded to a 24-hour Denny’s restaurant at 275 W. Hampden Avenue, where a man allegedly pulled a knife and attempted to stab an employee, according to an Englewood Police Department news release.

Upon arrival, officers contacted the suspect, who pulled out his knife and charged officers, before stabbing one officer in the shoulder area, police said.

Authorities said an officer then shot the suspect, rendered aid, then called for medical assistance.

The officer who sustained a stab wound was treated and later released from the hospital, according to the police.

Police said the suspect was transported to the hospital, where he is currently being treated for unknown injuries. Upon release, the suspect will enter Arapahoe County Jail custody.

The 18th Judicial District’s critical incident response team was conducting an independent investigation of Monday’s incident at the Englewood Denny’s.

It was not immediately clear which jurisdiction would determine potential charges the suspect could face.

Anyone with information can contact the Englewood Police Department at 303-761-7410.
