Two men who bragged they knew the person who beat up a Boulder officer after slashing the tires of two police vehicles Saturday night are wanted for questioning in the matter, the city said today.
The men were in a Boulder restaurant, which was not named, and its management on Monday gave investigators security video and still photographs of the pair, neither of whom match the description of the assailant.
Sgt. Jim Byfield received a concussion, a broken elbow and a broken clavicle in the struggle about 9:40 p.m. near 11th and College streets.
“The two men were at the establishment in the early morning hours after the attack and bragged that they knew someone who had just beaten up an officer,” police stated.
The attacker was described as white, with a shaved or bald head. He was about 6 feet tall and between 180 to 220 pounds with a muscular or stocky build. He was wearing a black hoodie with white lettering on the front, police said.
Anyone with information can call Boulder police at 303-441-1974 or Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or 1-800-444-3776.
There is a $1,000 reward.
