ARLINGTON, Wash. - Police say the knife attack at a gas station in Arlington appears to have been done at random. 

A man was booked into Snohomish County Jail for the following crimes on Friday.

• Assault in the second degree
• Driving while license suspended in the third degree
• Outstanding felony warrants

Timeline:

This morning, at about 9:19 a.m., first responders arrived on the scene at a Pilot Travel Center off Highway 530. 

Once there, the Arlington Police Department reports that a 23-year-old man got out of his car and approached a 42-year-old man in the parking lot.
