The Morning Blotter: Downtown Skirmish Leads to Stabbing

By Jonah Spangenthal-Lee June 17, 2010

One man was stabbed following a skirmish on a downtown street last week.


When officers on foot patrol arrived 1st and Virginia shortly before 1:00am on June 12th, they found the victim leaning up against a wall, bleeding from his side.


A witness at the scene told police the victim had been in a fight with two other men, and when the victim pinned one of the men on the ground and punched him, the second suspect walked up and stabbed the victim in his side. A police report does not indicate what led to the fight.


Witnesses at the scene pointed out two suspects and when police stopped the men, a kitchen knife fell out of one suspect's waistband.


Medics transported the victim to Harborview and police booked both suspects into the King County Jail for assault.
