Police chopper circles Ballard in early AM

The King County Sheriff’s helicopter “Guardian One” woke a few people up early Sunday morning as it circled Ballard. An officer with the Seattle Police Department tells us that around 3 a.m. someone was assaulted at a house near 14th & 73rd and the suspect ran away from the scene. Since Guardian One was in the area, they were asked to stay in Ballard while K-9 units tried to find the suspect. As of 4 a.m. no word on if the suspect has been located.
