A man allegedly attacked his neighbor with a bucket of urine, feces and vomit in the parking area near their apartment building in Beacon Hill, according to the police report. The woman’s clothes were soaked in urine, she had “soft fecal matter” on her back and vomit in her hair when police arrived shortly after the attack. The stench was so bad, the reporting officer found it difficult to conduct the interview, according to the report.
But, the officer valiantly fought the odor and got the following story (and hopefully a GIANT bonus, too). The woman said that the suspect somehow got her cell phone number and called her up while she was in her apartment near Martin Luther King Jr Way S and S Walker St around 9 p.m. August 8. He told her there was something wrong with her car, so she went out to the parking area to check on it. She saw there was nothing wrong with the car and headed back towards the apartment building.
When she reached the stairs to return to the building, the suspect allegedly ran up behind her and dumped a bucket of urine, feces and vomit onto her. Police checked the stairs, and, indeed, found what appeared to be more urine, feces and vomit on the steps.
Seattle Fire Engine 30 responded to the scene, but were unable to assist in the cleanup on the stairs due the large amount of matter. Firefighters arranged a bio hazard cleanup with the building owner before leaving.
There was no response at the suspect’s apartment, so police did not make contact with him at that time. It is also unclear whose urine, feces and vomit it was and over how long a period it had been collected.
