First the man heard the explosion, then he saw his bleeding
arm.
Seattle Police say that a parking pay station exploded near
NW 54 St and 32 Ave NW in Ballard around
12:30 a.m. early Sunday morning.
The man, struck by a piece of the parking station, flagged
down a car with the help of his friend, and was taken to
Swedish Hospital in Ballard for treatment.
The Arson and Bomb Unit and CSI responded to the scene of
the explosion. The investigation is active and ongoing, but
police believe it appears to have been an act of vandalism
gone awry.
