Police are investigating after a man with stab wounds wandered out of a West Seattle greenbelt this morning.

Just before 9:15 AM, the victim, a man in 20’s, walked out of the woods and collapsed on a sidewalk near 6th Avenue Southwest and Southwest Cambridge Street.

The man said he’d been stabbed and passersby called 911.

Medics were called to the scene to treat the man and officers are searching the area for a suspect, witnesses and other evidence.

We’ll update this post with more information as it becomes available.
