Police look for kidnapping suspect with stab wounds

EDGEWATER - A woman was kidnapped five hours after, and five blocks from where a man tried to kidnap a 10-year-old girl on Wednesday.

 Both the woman and the 10-year-old were able to escape from the men attempting to capture them, but one of the suspects is still on the loose.

Police said a woman who was kidnapped around 8 p.m. near West 24th Avenue and Chase Street stabbed her captor and was able to escape near East 17th Place and I-225 in Aurora.

Police are still looking for that man. Edgewater police say they've alerted several police agencies to be on the lookout for an African-American man, who has a stab wound in the shoulder and/or chest. Police said the suspect is believed to be associated with a blue diesel truck, but could not provide any further description at the time this article was written.

At 3:00 p.m. a 10-year-old girl fought off a sex-offender who tried to kidnap her in an alley near West 29th Street and Chase Street, five blocks away from where the woman was taken.
