DENVER — A security guard at the downtown Greyhound Bus Depot shot a man who attacked him with a metal pipe and knife-like object early Friday, according to the Denver Police Department (DPD).
Denver police officers responded to the incident at 2:35 a.m. Friday at 19th and Curtis streets in downtown Denver.
A DPD spokesperson said that a man stabbed a security guard at the bus depot and the security guard shot him.
Two unidentified security guards were patrolling the area around the bus depot when they spotted a man standing behind a concrete post connected to the bus terminal parking garage on the west side of Curtis Street, according to a probable cause statement for the man's arrest from DPD.
One of the security guards approached the man, identified as Adell T. Phillips, 30. Phillips hit the guard with a metal pipe and then stabbed at him with a knife-life object, according to the statement.
The security guard suffered stab wounds to his neck and left arm, then drew his gun with his right hand and fired several shots, the statement says.
Both men were taken to a hospital. The security guard had minor lacerations to his neck and arm, and Phillips had gunshot wounds to his back and leg, according to the statement.
Phillips was booked into the Denver jail without bail on suspicion of attempted first-degree murder.
