A sentencing has taken place for a man who pleaded guilty to felony child abuse and assault charges. He received a 40-year prison term. The case involves a series of stabbings that injured three people, including a young child.

The attacks were reportedly carried out for a thrill, and the man reportedly bought the knife days before. The incidents occurred at multiple locations in Parker, Colorado, including a retail store where a child was hurt and a discount store where an employee was attacked. Further information is available from the original report.
