Seattle Police arrested a man at Golden Gardens Park on June 21 after he yelled racial slurs and threatened three people with a knife and a boomerang.

Police received a call from victims after the suspect yelled at them from the beach. They said they were walking to the water when the man started screaming at them. In between racial slurs the suspect told them that they were all going to die, and he stabbed the ground and a nearby log with a knife. The victims believed their lives were in danger and called 911.

When police arrived, they located the suspect behind a large log. He was described as only wearing red shorts and holding the weapons.

Police immediately disarmed the man of his knife and boomerang. They found another folding knife in the suspect’s shorts.

The suspect denied making any disturbance and said he was sleeping. He complained of pain from having surgery on both shoulders. He later stated he was attempting to “ground” himself at the beach.

Police arrested the man, and he was booked at King County Jail for harassment.
