Seattle police say that a group of children and teenagers
attacked a man early Sunday morning before stealing his
car.
The victim told police he was driving home from a wedding
at 3 a.m. when he saw ten kids loitering around his house
on the 11200 block of 57th Avenue South.
One girl asked if she could use the man’s cell phone, and
then sprayed him with mace.
The rest of the group swarmed him, pulled him out of his
car, and started beating him. Some of the suspects, who
may have been as young as 8-years-old, were also swinging
pool cues.
The man reported that he was incapacitated, laying in the
street and that passing drivers refused to stop and help
him.
When his attackers abruptly ran off, the man drove down
Beacon Avenue and called 911. He was talking to
dispatchers when the children attacked him again and stole
his car.
Since Sunday, some of the suspects have been apprehended
by Seattle police and charged with assault and robbery.
One of the teenagers has been charged as an adult. Two
others have been charged as juveniles.
