SEATTLE — A suspect has been arrested for stabbing four people in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood early Friday morning, according to the Seattle Police Department (SPD).
Shortly after 2 a.m., 911 dispatch received a call that multiple people had been stabbed on 14th Avenue between East Union and East Pike Street outside of a bar.
When police arrived they found four people with stab wounds: a 28-year-old man, a 27-year-old woman, a 39-year-old man and a 36-year-old man.
The 28-year-old man and 27-year-old woman were taken to Harborview Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries.
A 36-year-old suspect has been arrested, according to SPD. The suspect was wounded in the altercation with the victims, but was not stabbed. The suspect was booked into King County Jail for investigation of assault.
Police are still investigating what led up to the altercation.
Mike Reis owns Diesel, located near where the stabbing happened. He says he doesn't know why or how it did -- but would like to see more public safety support in the area.
"We're worried about all of our patrons getting home safely, this is becoming ridiculous and it has to end," Reis said. "This is the Pike Pine corridor, they want to feel safe, they want to go out, they want to party, but there comes a point where it's not safe."
Misa Prado lives nearby, and says while she enjoys Capitol Hill, she also takes safety precautions when going out at night.
"I would say it's really really fun, just make sure you're in a large group, you know your surroundings, you're with someone who knows where to go, especially late at night," Prado said. "You want to party, you want to have fun, you want to experience all of that, but I think it's smart to have someone with you who knows where you are at all times."
