Seattle police responded to a report of rocks being thrown at a man but quickly learned a man had been stabbed Tuesday evening in University District.
When officers arrived just after 6:30 p.m. near the intersection of NE 45th Street and University Way Northeast, a man was found with a non-life-threatening stab wound to his chest. It was reported the 53-year-old male victim was in an alleyway visiting a nearby business when a man and woman approached him.
There was a verbal altercation that led to rocks being thrown at the victim. During the verbal altercation, the male suspect expressed racial slurs stating he was a “skinhead” and told the male victim to “leave my country.” Both suspects then grabbed and held the male victim while the male suspect stabbed him in the chest.
The suspects left the alleyway on foot, last seen heading southbound on University Way NE. Officers searched the area but did not locate them.
The Seattle Fire Department responded to the scene, provided medical aid, and transported the male victim to Harborview Medical Center.
Seattle Police will be investigating this incident as a malicious harassment crime.
