Man attacked, robbed in downtown Seattle
Posted by John de Leon
A man waiting for a bus in downtown Seattle was assaulted and robbed last night by four men.
The man was waiting at a bus stop in the 300 block of Pine Street around 11:37 p.m. when two men approached him and asked for money. The men then began assaulting the victim and then two more men joined in the attack. One of the men took the victim's wallet.
The victim suffered cuts and bruises in the attack.
Just before 1 this morning the victim called to 911 to report that he had seen at least two of his attackers in the area of Third Avenue and Pine Street. Police responded and took the two men into custody. The victim confirmed they were among the four who had attacked and robbed him.
The two 19-year-old suspects were booked into the King County Jail.
