Man arrested after woman assaulted at Aurora Avenue motel
Posted by John de Leon
A man who is suspected of assaulting a woman at a motel suffered a drug overdose while he was being arrested and was taken to a Seattle hospital, police said.
At 9:14 p.m. Sunday, police responded to a motel in the 8200 block of Aurora Avenue North after several 911 callers reported a woman was being physically and sexually assaulted in a hallway. The suspect, a 49-year-old man, was hostile and combative. Police said he fought with officers as they tried to handcuff him.
Once the suspect was bought under control, he was taken outside to a patrol car. The man was driven to Harborview Medical Center because of a suspected drug overdose. Police said the man would be booked into the King County Jail once he is released from the hospital.
The victim, 28, suffered minor injuries, police said, and didn't need medical treatment.
