In the early hours of a Thursday night, a man was stabbed while sitting on a sidewalk in downtown Seattle in what police believe was an unprovoked attack. Officers responded to reports of the incident at about 8:30 p.m. and found the victim at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and Stewart Street. Despite sustaining stab wounds, the man remained conscious, and authorities said his injuries were not considered life-threatening.
According to the Seattle Police Department, the suspect fled the scene on foot, heading east along Olive Way. Officers immediately pursued the individual and, after a brief chase, arrested a man near the intersection of Eighth Avenue and Pike Street. The victim later identified the suspect as the person responsible for the attack.
