Man attacked during robbery in Pioneer Square
Police said the girl and two men brutally attacked the man during and after a robbery. The man’s shoes, phone, and wallet were stolen.
First responders found the man down, bleeding from his head. Witnesses reported seeing the girl and the men beating and kicking the victim, even after he was on the ground. Officers described the beating as “absolutely vicious” and said it was “one of the most brutal, unprovoked assaults” they’d ever seen.
It happened just after 11 p.m. in the area of 300 South Main Street.
Officers found the suspects near 6th Avenue and South Jackson Street and made the arrest. Seattle Police Department’s Real Time Crime Center cameras tracked the suspects’ movements downtown, and the arrests were caught on video.
The girl was placed on electronic home monitoring and is due back in court next Tuesday.
The two men are being held on $150,000 bail.
