On 7th Ave. S, a rock went through an office window. But before it came to rest on a desktop, it bounced off a ceiling panel, hit a wall switch, and triggered an alarm bell.

Two teens were seriously assaulted by three strangers who ran them off the road in the 700 block of S. Kenyon. One was stabbed in the back of the head while the other was punched in the nose and face. Many witnesses had seen three cars full of ?Latino gang members? driving in the area trying to get people to fight. Two suspects were booked into King County Jail, but the stabbing suspect remains at large.

In the Charlestown area, a woman was working in her yard when she happened to look up and spot a man standing inside her kitchen. When she ran inside to confront him, he ran out the back door and into the alley. He was a white male in his 20s, with long hair and a hat.

A 24-year-old man kicked in his mom?s front door and ordered his girlfriend to come away with him. His mom stepped in between the two and said, ?You?re not going to hit her again.? Son threw mom to the floor. When she got up, two other children joined her in trying to throw the suspect out of the apartment. He shoved them all to the floor again and finally fled when police were called. Officers found him a short time later, at Delridge and Thistle and booked him into King County Jail for investigation of domestic violence assault. He was also booked on four outstanding warrants from Minnesota: two for felony failure to register as a sex offender ($25,000 and $10,000), one for fleeing police ($500), and one no-bail probation violation.

In South Park, an officer noticed a scantily clad youngster trying to hide behind a wall. The 14-year-old SeaTac resident was high and said she was staying in a nearby apartment with her boyfriend. Two officers walked her there and found two other juveniles (a 14-year-old Bellevue girl and a boy, 15, from SeaTac), a line of cocaine on a TV tray, and more cocaine and drug paraphernalia in a bedroom. The man whose name is on the lease is 29 years old. All claimed that the drugs belonged to another man who was using the residence to prepare the drugs for sale. The renter was released but warned he would be under observation. Officers contacted the parents of two of the children (the third parent couldn?t be reached), but they did not want custody: They told officers to deposit the teens at the Spruce Street Youth Center.

In the 8100 block of 11th SW, a transient followed some male youngsters home from a park and banged on a doors and windows of the residence, trying to get in. He fled before officers arrived. He was a white male in his 20s, wearing a red shirt, white shorts, and blue Nike tennis shoes.

At 2 a.m. Saturday, a schizophrenic patient lashed out at nurses who were trying to get her to come inside a local care facility. Because the patient had recently damaged some walls and scratched herself with a pair of scissors, the caregivers felt she was a danger to herself and others. Officers came to the scene and called for an ambulance to transport the woman to Harborview for an evaluation.
