Police seek suspect in Delridge knifepoint robbery
SEATTLE - Seattle Police need help identifying a man accused of robbing a woman at knifepoint in Delridge.
The robbery happened on October 16th around 10:30 p.m. A woman had parked in an alleyway near Delridge Way Southwest and Trenton Street when a man came up behind her, grabbed her by the throat and put a knife to her ribs. The man stole her purse, punched her in the face and ran off.
The victim called police, who responded with officers and a K9 team, but were unable to find the suspect.
She described the suspect to police as a Black man in his late 30s, 5'10" tall with a black jacket, white shoes, sunglasses and a black mask with three white stripes on it. Police do not have any photos of the suspect, but hope the description of the mask might help people identify him.
