Seattle police officers arrested three robbery suspects following an “absolutely vicious” attack on a 42-year-old man in Pioneer Square last night.
On Aug. 6, at about 11:00 p.m., patrol officers responded to an assault in the 300 block of South Main Street. Officers located a victim bleeding from the head. The man was missing his shoes, phone, and wallet.

Officers found footage of the attack on a video surveillance camera. The reviewing officer described it as “absolutely vicious,” and said it was “one of the most brutal, unprovoked assaults” he has ever seen.
The male suspects can be seen punching the victim in the head and knocking him to the ground. Once on the ground, the man was repeatedly punched and kicked.
After the robbery and initial attack, one of the suspects returned to the scene and kicked the victim once more, drawing his leg back as if he were kicking a football or a soccer ball. A witness told police the victim lost consciousness from the attack.
