Seattle's First Hill neighborhood became the scene of a violent altercation late Tuesday night, as a man sustained a serious stab wound. According to the Seattle Police Department, at 9:50 p.m., after a 911 call, police officers were dispatched to the 600 block of Terry Avenue. They discovered an adult male victim with a torso stab wound and swiftly provided initial lifesaving aid. Seattle Fire Department medics proceeded to transport him to Harborview Medical Center, where he remains in serious but stable condition.
Witness accounts indicate an altercation that escalated quickly. The victim was reportedly outside a gas station when an argument between an adult man and woman caught his attention. The man stepped inside the gas station, leaving the woman outside. Upon returning, he witnessed the woman stabbing the victim in the chest. She then fled the scene. "The woman fled the scene shortly after the stabbing," the Seattle Police Department reports.
The Seattle Police were successful in locating the suspect, an adult female, shortly afterward near the 700 block of Cherry Street. She was detained without further incident and has since been booked into King County Jail for investigation of assault.
