A man was stabbed Tuesday night, Sept. 30, during an attempted carjacking in the Capitol Hill neighborhood.
Officers responded at 8:40 p.m., to reports of a stabbing near the 2000 block of Broadway East. They found a 44-year-old man suffering from a stab wound to his leg. Police provided medical aid until Seattle Fire Department medics arrived. American Medical Response (AMR) transported the man to Harborview Medical Center in stable condition with a minor injury.
The police investigation revealed the man was sitting in his parked car when two suspects approached. One suspect opened the door and stabbed the man while attempting to steal the vehicle. The victim was able to maintain control of the car, and the suspects fled eastbound on foot.
Both suspects were described as males wearing black masks.
About 30 minutes earlier, a similar attempted carjacking occurred at 10th Avenue East and East Miller Street. In that incident, two suspects tried to open a locked door of an occupied vehicle but were unsuccessful. The suspects fled shortly after. They were also described as wearing black masks.
No arrests have been made. Detectives with the Homicide and Assault Unit are investigating.
