911 First Hill gas station stabbing, Capitol Hill man arrested in SPD child porn investigation

A man was stabbed at a First Hill gas station Tuesday night, leaving him in serious but stable condition. Witnesses reported that the suspect, a woman, fled after the stabbing, but police located and arrested her shortly after. In a separate incident, a 38-year-old man was taken into custody for possessing and distributing child pornography, admitting to having over 15,000 files of child sexual abuse material on multiple devices. The investigation spanned several months and involved numerous CyberTips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Armed disturbances outside a Culture nightclub led to the arrest of a suspect who fled from police while brandishing a firearm, and another incident at Dick's Drive-in resulted in the arrest of a man making threats with a knife.

The suspect at Dick's has a history of offenses and was on the Seattle City Attorney’s Office High Utilizer Offender List. Each incident highlights ongoing concerns regarding public safety in the area. Police continue to address these issues through arrests and investigations.
