Man sought after random assault against family in Seattle's Wedgwood neighborhood |
![]() |
Two family members were violently assaulted while on a walk near a Seattle elementary school and neighbors said it is just the latest in a string of crimes to shake their community.
The attack happened Sunday evening along 31st Ave NE, about a block from Wedgwood Elementary School, according to investigators. By all accounts this attack was random and unprovoked and it sent a 70-year-old man to the hospital. Police are still looking for the suspect. The violent assault along what is normally a tranquil street took most neighbors by surprise, but Scott Waterman had his own encounter with the suspect moments before and was among the first to call 911. -------------------------------------------------- For more on the lead story: https://komonews.com/news/local/seattle-wedgwood-neighborhood-suspect-random-assault-family-police-strangling-injuries-searching# _______________ Stay up to date with our social media: KOMO News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KOMONews/ KOMO News on Twitter: https://twitter.com/komonews KOMO News on Instagram: http://instagram.com/komo4 KOMO News on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@komo4seattle Subscribe to KOMO on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC__2_0RJ8XnHt2angfw6S1Q/?sub_confirmation=1 Watch more top local news stories: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G97AyNO_3IE&list=PLZm7uq7_dyY6qhFFIwgXRvYpkaOnZEabc&index=2&t=0s For all of the day’s top local and national news, visit http://www.komonews.com/ Watch our live newscasts and other live video at https://komonews.com/watch Download our iOS App: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/komo-news-mobile/id433508161?mt=8 Download our Android App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newssynergy.komo&hl=en Have a news tip?
