A Thornton teacher was injured after someone stabbed him outside Meadow Community School on Thursday afternoon, police officials said.
Thornton police responded to the attack in the 9100 block of Monroe Street just after 3 p.m. The teacher was taken to the hospital with injuries that were not life threatening and police arrested 31-year-old Damien Brooks at the scene.
There is no apparent connection between the teacher and Brooks, and it appears to be an unprovoked attack, the Thornton Police Department said in a news release.
Victim advocates were called to the school to help students and staff who witnessed the stabbing.
Brooks was previously convicted of attempted assault in June, felony domestic violence assault in 2023 and criminal mischief in 2020, according to court records.
His next court date was not available Thursday.
