• Cal Anderson transgender attack: A man who punched a transgender woman in Cal Anderson Park Thursday afternoon was able to elude police following the 4 PM assault. But SPD says officers took the suspect into custody later Thursday night:
  

  Officers arrested a 28 year-old man Thursday evening after he attacked a transgender woman at Cal Anderson Park.

  Police  responded to an assault call at the park just before 4 PM, where they learned the suspect had harassed a transgender woman, before throwing a cup of ice water at her and punching her in the head. The suspect also assaulted a witness, who had tried to intervene.

  Officers spoke with the victims but couldn’t find the suspect, who had fled the scene.

  Two hours after the incident in the park, Seattle police responded to another report of disturbance in the 1400 block of Boylston. Officers soon discovered the suspect in the Boylston incident was the same man they’d been looking for in the Cal Anderson assault.

  Police say the 28-year-old suspect was arrested and booked into King County Jail for assault. SPD says it will continue to investigate the incident as a possible hate crime.

• Hit and run and run: Police were searching for both the victim and the vehicle in a Broadway/Pike hit and run late Thursday night at Broadway and Pine. According to police radio, the victim was also a suspect — the male was reportedly fleeing with a stolen backpack when he was struck. The theft suspect ran from the scene eastbound on Pine with a serious laceration to his head while the car sped away to the west. There were no arrests.
