Seattle police don’t know why a man who asked about
opening a bank account at a Bank of America on First Hill
stabbed a security guard.
Police say the suspect didn’t even take money from the
bank at 1201 Madison Street in Seattle.
The suspect asked a teller about opening an account
and then said he would return later in the day to do the
necessary paperwork.
As he left, the suspect stabbed the security guard twice
in the abdomen, and fled on foot. The guard was taken to a
nearby hospital and police say his injuries are non-life-
threatening.
Police describe the suspect as a black man in his late
20’s to early 30’s, 5’6″ tall, 180 pounds
with a scruffy beard. He was wearing a black puffy jacket
with a long white T-shirt underneath and dark colored
pants with a light colored stripe running down the sides.
Anyone with information about the suspect is asked to call
911.
