Seattle police have apprehended a man they were looking for in connection with the stabbing of two people on Eastlake Avenue Wednesday afternoon.
Police report the incident occurred in the 1800 block of Eastlake Avenue. According to police, a man with a tattooed face stabbed the couple and skated away on a skateboard.
Firefighters responded to the scene and provided aid to the couple, a 19-year-old woman and 22-year-old man, who were transported to Harborview Medical Center. Seattle police report their injuries do not appear life threatening.
In their search for the suspect, police released a description that said the suspect was a while male with horn tattoos on his forehead and bolt tattoos on his cheek.
