At around 2 a.m. on Saturday, June 5 a man approached a patrolling police officer in the 1200 block of Westlake Ave N, his right hand wrapped in a towel and bleeding, according to an SPD report. The victim told the officer that he had been dancing with a woman he didn’t know in a nearby club when an unknown man confronted him and demanded to know what he was doing “dancing with this girl.” The suspect then pushed the victim, according to the report, and the victim put his hands up to his chest height with his palms facing upwards and said “Hey man, I don’t know!”

According to the report, the suspect then took out a folding knife and slashed at the victim in a downward motion, slicing away about an inch of skin from the victim’s index finger. The suspect then ran away, while the victim went to the bathroom to clean up his hand, and later report the incident to police. The victim was treated by Seattle Fire Department medics at the scene, but refused further treatment. The suspect is described an approximately 20-year-old black man, around 5’7”, balding, wearing a blue T-shirt and black baggy pants. The name of the bar was not mentioned in the report.
