  • Man thrown over fence: The victim in an early morning assault last Thursday had a painful night after a 20-foot drop into a bushy area in the 1200 block of E Pike. According to the SPD report on the July 25th incident and an email sent to CHS about the incident, a caller reported the sound of a man calling for help from an overgrown area in the back of a parking lot around 4:30 AM. Police arrived and could hear the man yelling for help from below and complaining of a broken ankle. Seattle Fire was called out to help rescue the man. Back on solid ground, the victim told police how he ended up in the jungle-y predicament:Screen Shot 2013-08-01 at 1.01.25 PMThe victim was transported to Harborview for treatment.
  • Safeway-1993-7-20-13-Liquor-Theft-Robbery-13-257990pic-3Liquor robbery suspect: Police are searching for the suspect in a robbery at the 22nd and E Madison Safeway earlier this month. They have released surveillance photos of the suspect, and are asking anyone who knows the identity of the suspect to contact them at (206) 684-5535.
  • Bike assault: A woman was pushed off a bicycle Wednesday afternoon when she confronted a neighbor who she told police had a history of harassing her. The victim told police she was riding her bicycle on Harvard Ave E approaching the E Miller St intersection when she saw the neighbor. According to the report, when she asked her neighbor if the two of them “could have a little chat to iron out [their] differences,” he pushed her off her bicycle and fled. The victim was not injured, and police provided her with the information necessary to file a court order protecting her.
  • Swedish Hospital confrontation: Police responded to a call at Swedish Hospital Wednesday night after a man refused to leave the premises.  Security told police they asked the man to leave several times before he took what was described as a stance “similar to a football player lowering their shoulder.” The man was released after he cooperated with police and denied making threats.
  • Downtown crime: It seems like the area around Cal Anderson isn’t the only part of the central city where SPD is facing pressures to step up presence and patrols. Dozens of businesses have sent a scathing letter to City Hall about violence and criminal activity in downtown Seattle.

Reading the blotter is fast becoming the most depressing part of my week. Note to self, stay blissfully ignorant and stop reading the blotter
