Three injured in knife attack outside Tacoma bar, suspect arrested

One suspect has been arrested after an altercation outside of a Tacoma bar, which led to a knife being drawn and injuring three people on Friday, according to KIRO 7.

At approximately 2 a.m., multiple 911 calls alerted the Tacoma Police Department (TPD) to the Dive Lounge on S. Tacoma Way.

Reports detailed that a fight had started outside of the bar, and a knife was being used by one of the individuals.

TPD officers ultimately determined that a “large fight” started outside of the Dive Lounge and moved over onto the sidewalk.

Law enforcement noted that while the altercation was in progress, a suspect assaulted multiple people with a knife. Three victims were taken to local hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries following the attack. One suspect has been taken into custody.

TPD officers and Crime Scene Technicians are currently investigating by collecting evidence and interviewing witnesses.

Approximately 12 hours prior, a 60-year-old suspect was arrested for the alleged fatal stabbing of a man. The fatal stabbing occurred in the same vicinity as the Dive Lounge knife attack.
