One of Seattle’s most popular summertime hangouts has been the site of several attacks in the past week.
Kenny Stratton told KING 5 he was at Golden Gardens last Wednesday enjoying a bonfire with friends.
“I went to the bathroom by myself. I should have grabbed a partner, but I went to the bathroom by myself and on my way out I was attacked,” he said.
Stratton, 23, said he was punched and kicked by about 10 people who took his wallet, cell phone and keys.
So far, witnesses have provided only a vague description of the suspects.
According to Seattle police, it was one of at least five attacks in the past week.
Anyone with information is urged to call Seattle Police.
