SEATTLE — Detectives with the Seattle Police Department are investigating after a 47-year-old man was stabbed downtown Monday morning.

Police said they received a 911 call at 12:27 a.m. from someone who said a man was sitting at a bus stop at 3rd Avenue and Union Street with a stab wound to his neck.

The man was later transported to Harborview Medical Center where he was listed in critical but stable condition.

“Officers were able to speak with the victim and now think the suspect was a black male in his mid-40s, approximately five foot nine inches tall, with a medium build wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt and carrying a dark bag,” Seattle police said in a blotter post.

The victim told police he last saw the suspect heading north on 3rd Avenue.

Anyone with information on the stabbing is asked to contact the Seattle Police Department tip line at 206-625-5011.
