A 32-year-old knife-wielding man was arrested after an attempted burglary in the Little Saigon neighborhood on Tuesday.
At approximately 3:35 p.m., Seattle Police Department (SPD) officers responded to reports of a burglary in the 300 block of 10th Avenue, SPD announced.
As officers arrived, they located a 37-year-old victim who was not injured. SPD believes the suspect brandished a knife and threatened the victim after he prowled her car, which was parked in a locked parking lot.
