Seattle Police have arrested a 19-year-old man in Crown Hill for assaulting a 41-year-old woman on Aurora Avenue.

On March 8, an officer saw a woman not wearing jacket walking on Aurora Avenue late in the evening. The officer had talked with the woman earlier that day and at that time she was wearing a jacket. The night was cold, and she was only wearing tights and a sleeveless t-shirt. The officer was concerned and stopped to talk with the woman. She immediately told him she had been robbed and assaulted.

She said a man had picked her up and drove behind an Aurora business. He assaulted her and then pushed her out of the car. He drove away with her belongings inside the vehicle.

The victim was able to describe the suspect’s car. Police found the vehicle at a home located near Northwest 85th Street and 17th Avenue Northwest.

Officers made contact with the 19-year-old man in the home, and they confirmed he was the attacker.

The suspect was booked in King County Jail for investigation of rape, robbery, assault and a $50,000 felony warrant. Police are working with prosecutors to bring charges against the man.
