Violence struck Capitol Hill's Cal Anderson Park Saturday morning when a man was critically injured in a stabbing incident. According to a Seattle Police Department blog post, the 32-year-old male victim sustained a serious chest wound around 9:30 a.m. on the 1600 block of Nagle Place, just steps away from where community members enjoy the green space of the park.
Seattle’s first responders rushed to the scene following the stabbing report, with police locating the injured man. Witnesses have described the prelude to the brutal attack as an altercation between the victim and another male, described as being in his 20’s. The exact sequence of events that escalated to violence remains unclear as the suspect has yet to be apprehended.
The prompt action of the Seattle Fire Department ensured that the victim received immediate attention and was transferred to Harborview Medical Center where he remains in critical condition. Efforts by medical professionals are underway, striving to stabilize him and save his life.
As the investigation proceeds, little has been revealed about the motive behind the stabbing or the identity of the perpetrator. Seattle Police have not released further details but emphasized that their search for the suspect is vigorous and ongoing. Community members with information have been urged to come forward as every piece of evidence could prove crucial in bringing a swift resolution to this case.
