Police say they are 'heartened' the suspect — who shed his clothes while running away — is in custody.
Three people were stabbed Tuesday in an"unprovoked" attack in downtown Seattle, police said.
Two people were taken to the hospital, a 75-year-old man who was stabbed in the neck and a 77-year-old man who was stabbed in the back, according to a blotter post on the Seattle Police Department's official blog. A third man was stabbed in the forearm and treated at the scene. "We do believe that this was an unprovoked and random attack, so it is very concerning for us," SPD Sgt. Sean Whitcomb told reporters."We're very heartened that the suspect is in custody.""Police also recovered the knife – which the suspect had discarded in the back of a package delivery truck – and the man’s clothes, which he had stripped off as he ran from officers," Seattle police wrote.The two hospitalized men are in stable condition, police said.
