SEATTLE - Seattle police arrested a 28-year-old man Sunday in connection with the stabbing of his 58-year-old mother overnight in Yesler Terrace.
What we know:
After initially focusing on the woman's daughter as the potential suspect, further investigation pointed to her son instead. Officers located the man at 5:36 a.m. near 8th Avenue and Madison Street. During an ensuing foot chase, the man tossed a backpack on Interstate 5 before being taken into custody.
Both the man and backpack were taken into custody with the bag having the presumptive weapon from the stabbing inside. The man was booked into King County Jail for investigation of domestic violence assault.
Officers were called to the 1100 block of Fir Street around 1 a.m. after a neighbor called 911 after the victim arrived at their door with multiple stab wounds.
The injured woman had stab wounds to her neck, face, arm, and leg. She was treated by officers at the scene until medics from the Seattle Fire Department arrived to provide lifesaving efforts. She was transported to Harborview Medical Center in serious condition.
The victim was allegedly awakened by an unprovoked attack, with the suspect fleeing the scene before officers arrived. She was stabbed in their apartment and in the hallway of the complex before seeking help from a neighbor.
