Man arrested after he maces passersby — including two children — on Broadway

DS writes in with scary details of an attack on him, his two children and others innocently walking on Broadway on a warm Thursday summer night.

As I walked back from yogurt land with my infant and toddler.  A man of the streets sprayed mace all over us and a few others on bway in front of Bonney Watson.  Guy was arrested , clearly crazy, many victims,check out police report.

We walked to John and bway before stopping cause I  didn’t know what the dude was gonna   i could barely see!  Medics checked us out, everyone ok.

We have not yet confirmed details with SPD on the arrest. Seattle Fire responded to the scene around 6:45 PM. We’ll update when we get more from both on the incident.

On Tuesday, an 86-year-old man was injured in what he says was an unprovoked attack as he sat on a Cal Anderson bench near E Pine.

Perhaps someone could direct the assailant to the freshly swept area under the Pine street overpass at I-5.

Broadway: fun for the whole family. On second thought, leave grandpa and the kids at home.

It is a little messy but I really love the new habanero topping option at Yogurtland!

They changed the location in the police report. This is likely because it is somehow beneficial to them on paper to have violent accidents accumulate in Cal Anderson Park and not on Broadway. What benefit could they derive from that? I don’t know but I think it’s a chance for investigative reporting from my favorite local blog.

Ugh, some of the people in this neighborhood need to wake. the. fuck. up.

This guy needs to be hung in volunteer park and stayed there to rot for a couple days as example to all these anarchist hippies
