Man assaulted, robbed by two men and two women
Posted by John de Leon
A man was robbed and assaulted early this morning by two men and two women in the 1300 block of Seneca Street, police said.
A witness told police he was walking on Seneca around 1:45 a.m. when he saw four people smoking marijuana on the street. He then saw one of the four strike the victim, who was knocked to the ground. The witness then saw one of the suspects get into a black 1990s Toyota or Kia and start it up.
Once the victim was on the ground the two women started stealing his belongings. At one point the females were dragging the victim by the strap of a laptop bag they were trying to take.
The victim suffered minor injuries and was treated by Seattle Fire Department medics.
Police got only vague descriptions of the four suspects, all believed to be in their 20s.
UPDATE - 7:32 PM
