Seattle, WA - Seattle police arrested a 19-year-old man for an assault captured by the real Time Crime Center (RTCC) early this morning.

On Aug. 6, patrol officers were flagged down about a disturbance in the 1500 block of 3rd Avenue just before 1 a.m. Officers reached out to an RTCC systems analyst, hoping the community space cameras located in Downtown Seattle could help them locate where the disturbance was happening.

The RTCC found the incident and reported details back to patrol officers, including the suspect’s description and location. When officers arrived, the suspect tried to get away. Police arrested and booked him into the King County Jail for Assault and Obstructing a Public Officer.

Police investigated another involved subject and released him from the scene.

When officers reviewed the community space cameras, they saw the suspect walking up to the victim and assaulting him. The attack was seemingly unprovoked. The suspect punched, kicked, and threw knee strikes at the victim.

The 25-year-old victim was unable to stand and walk on his own due to his injuries. An ambulance transported him to Harbor Medical Center for treatment and evaluation.
