• Club fight: A female victim suffered a minor facial injury and a male victim was knocked unconscious in an assault reported late on Valentine’s outside the Rhino Room at 11th and Pine. We’re not sure exactly how to explain what played out but the report seems to describe an altercation between a group of women and two males that got turned up a notch when two more guys intervened and started throwing punches. Here’s how one victim reported the melee began:
  Rhino Room security described a scene when two new people showed up out of nowhere and started punching:
  Police only made one arrest out of the first and second set of males involved in the incident. The male arrested told officers the man who got knocked out was his boyfriend and said admitted he shouldn’t have punched the female victim to start the entire fracas in the first place: The male who was knocked out was transported to Harborview.
