A graffiti tagger fell onto the eastbound I-90 ramp to Bellevue Way Monday night.

At approximately 10:30 p.m., the tagger fell onto the ramp from the overpass where the suspect was tagging, Washington State Patrol (WSP) Trooper Rick Johnson announced.

“Obviously, it’s illegal, not only for the fact that it’s dangerous but also because defacing public property,” Johnson told KIRO Newsradio.

The Bellevue Fire Department responded to the scene and administered medical aid.

The suspect was eventually transported to Harborview Medical Center with a possible broken leg and facial injuries.
