News outlets reported that a Colorado suspect has received 20 years in prison sentence Tuesday following a guilty plea that he entered in connection to the aggressive stabbing of a woman while she was jogging alone in 2018.

19-year-old Andrew Michael Young severely stabbed the victim whose name was not identified publicly which caused the knife to be broken.

District Attorney Bruce Brown stated: "The horrific nature of this crime is overcome by the tremendous bravery exhibited by the survivor in recounting her nightmare to police and standing up to the defendant today in Court."

The woman who has suffered several serious wounds in the head and torso was rushed to the hospital for surgery.
