According to the Seattle Police Department, last Friday, January 16, Seattle Police Officers arrested a man for stabbing someone during a bar fight at a bar in the Interbay neighborhood.

Officers were dispatched around 10:30 pm after there was a report of a man harassing a woman at a bar on the 3400 block of Gilman Ave. West.

A patron at the bar saw the suspect harassing the woman and intervened, which caused an argument. The suspect struck the man in the chest. The victim thought the blow was a mere punch but then realized there was a lot of blood coming from his chest; the suspect had stabbed him with a small blade.

Witnesses report the suspect fled the bar and tried to jump over a patio wall, but broke his ankle in the process. He scrambled to a vehicle -- still carrying the knife -- where his wife was waiting for him. Patrons of the bar followed the suspect and managed to remove him from the vehicle. They sustained minor cuts to their hands in the process. The victim was also wounded in the struggle.

Officers were there in minutes and arrested the suspect. The suspect’s vehicle was impounded so officers could recover the knife.

The victim and the suspect were both taken to Harborview Medical Center for treatment. Following treatment, the victim will be booked for assault at King County Jail.
