Sandy police are searching in the foothills around the Bell Canyon trail for a man who stabbed a hiker on the trail with a makeshift spear and then ran off.
Police say the suspect had what appeared to be a bamboo walking stick. He pulled off the top, exposing a metal rod with a fine tip, which he used like a spear.
“The spear, we’re calling it, actually went through the top of his arm and came out the lower portion of his arm,” said Sgt. Troy Arnold with the Sandy Police Department.
