#2022-093521/Southwest Precinct/Third Watch: 

On Thursday 04-13-2022 at 9:13PM hours, officers responded to a disturbance in the 6000 block of Fauntleroy way SW with a male banging on vehicles as they drove down the road.

Additional callers to 911 reported a known male in crisis who was experiencing a “mental break”.

As officers arrived in the area, information was relayed that the involved subject was armed with a knife and had possibly stabbed themselves.

The subject had been hiding in the bushes until officers were on scene and emerged to confront officers.

This subject was covered in blood, still bleeding from numerous wounds, and refused commands to stop approaching officers.

Officers engaged the potentially armed subject who was screaming, “Shoot me, I want to die!” and detained him following a Type II Use of Force.

EMT trained officers arrived on scene and provided medical aid to the subject for self-inflicted lacerations until Seattle Fire could arrive.

The subject was transported to Harborview Medical Center for ITA. Incident screened.
