Seattle police say they have arrested a suspect in the stabbing of a security guard at a First Hill bank in Seattle Tuesday morning.
While details were still forthcoming, police say the suspect was arrested in Federal Way.
Police said a man entered a Bank of America branch in the area of Madison Street between Boren and 7th Avenue around 10:40 a.m. The suspect asked about opening an account. He then left the counter and stabbed the security guard twice in the abdomen before walking out the door and leaving.
The guard, a male in his 30s, was rushed to Harborview Medical Center, according to the Seattle Fire Department. His wounds were described as non-life threatening.
The suspect is described as:
--black male in his late 20s
--about 5-feet 6-inches tall, 180-185 pounds
--scruffy beard
--wearing puffy black jacket, white t-shirt and baggy pants
Anyone who sees him is asked to call 911 and avoid contact as the suspect may still be armed.
