A man is in custody after a hit and run in which he pulled a knife on the victim.
According to Mark Jameson from the Seattle Police, the vehicle collision happened at roughly 1:30pm near NW 73rd St and 12th Ave NW. He says police were called after the suspect hit the victim’s vehicle, and after a brief confrontation, brandished a knife. The suspect then took off on foot, running through the yards of nearby houses.
Jameson says police were able to locate the suspect within a few blocks of where the incident first took place.
Members of the My Ballard Group on Facebook reported that as of 4:20pm, 13th Ave NW was still closed off.
There were no injuries, but there was some property damage as a result of the hit and run. Officers arrested the man, and police are still on the scene investigating.
