Three young girls were being followed and groped by a man with a big knife in North Seattle. The man has been arrested.
An alarm was raised at 10:38 a.m. on Sunday about a guy with a knife in the 8500 block of Aurora Avenue North. Seattle police were called.
When the cops arrived, they talked to three 14-year-old victims who said the man was following them around with a big knife and bothering them.
Police said the teens were “extremely scared” by what happened and used that as a reason to arrest the man.
When the police caught the man, they found a US Marine Corps KA_BAR knife, a pocket knife, a slungshot, 1.5 grams of what they think is methamphetamine, and other drug-associated items.
The 28-year-old man was arrested, but he was not booked because he failed to cooperate with medical staff.
The man was then taken to Harborview Medical Center to be checked out. He was then put into the King County Jail.
After 26 hours, the suspect was let out of jail.
Police are looking into the case.
