The suspect, identified as Nathan Mahoney, 32, allegedly stabbed Denslow 'in the side with a knife' at 9:30 am before quickly driving away. But police were able to catch him after about 15 minutes and he was charged with assault with intent to murder and fleeing a police officer, People magazine reported.
