Michael Day and Justin Knight were taken to the Summit Medical Center in Breckenridge yesterday after they were attacked by a man wielding a knife outside a Main Street bar.
The Grand Junction Sentinel reports Justin Rendell Reid, 30, of Grand Junction is being held in the Summit County Jail on suspicion of first-degree assault in the attack.
According to police, there was an argument in a bar and everyone was thrown out. But the dispute reportedly continued outside and Reid allegedly stabbed Day, 29, in the chest as they argued.
Knight, 26, came to Day's aid when he saw him go down. He chased Reid and when he caught him, was stabbed in the arms and hands.
A fourth man reportedly jumped in and knocked Reid off Knight and held him until police arrived.
Both men are expected to recover.
