Police seek ‘person of interest’ in connection to last weekend’s stabbing

Seattle Police are asking for help in identifying the man who they believe is in connection to the stabbing of a Ballard man last weekend.

Last Friday at 10pm, 34-year-old Johnny Robinson was in his tattoo shop on NW 45th St when he saw two men outside, slashing tires. He confronted the two, and was stabbed by one of the men. Robinson’s injuries were life-threatening — he’s still in the hospital recovering from a stab wound to the chest.

Police released the above photo, which is from a surveillance camera near the Ballard Animal Hospital. The photo shows the man urinating on the side of the hospital. According to the SPD Blotter, detectives consider the man a “person of interest” and would like to speak with him about the stabbing.

If you have any information about this case or recognize the man in the photos, call Seattle Police at (206) 233-5000.
