Police arrested a man on Capitol Hill in Seattle on Monday after he
threatened a bouncer with a homemade spear and threw a batarang at
officers as they pursued him.
Police were called to a Capitol Hill bar at around 6:30pm after a man
with a knife attached to a metal pole reportedly swung the improvised
spear at a bar employee.
The man fled the scene, but officers Benjamin Timbs and Walker Dickson chased after him. At one point during the pursuit, officers witnessed the man throw something towards a police SUV.
A short time later, after catching up to the 23-year-old suspect,
officers discovered the object the man had thrown was a “a sharp, black
Batman-style throwing star,” which had embedded in the lower front end
of the vehicle.
Officers booked the man into the King County Jail for felony assault and
are also requesting additional weapons and obstruction charges.
