(MANITOU SPRINGS, Colo.) — Police have identified the suspect in the assault that left a Pikes Peak Cog Railway employee critically injured on Saturday, Aug. 16, in the railway’s parking lot at 515 Ruxton Avenue.
According to the Manitou Springs Police Department (MSPD), the suspect has been identified as Randy Blevins, who allegedly attacked the employee. The victim remains in critical condition at the hospital.

MSPD says the case remains an active investigation and urges anyone who witnessed, recorded, or has information about the assault to contact El Paso County Dispatch at (719) 390-5555.
