Police in suburban Denver are looking for a man dressed in a Santa suit who stabbed another passenger on a bus.

Davis says there’s a good chance the suspect Santa was traveling home from some kind of holiday event and someone may know he was taking the bus on Sheridan Boulevard.
The stabber appeared to be a man in his 30s and had some dark hair visible under his white Santa wig.
Police don’t know yet whether the two men know each other.
