Man arrested in Seattle after throwing rocks and exposing himself

Seattle police arrested a man accused of throwing rocks, breaking windows, smashing a fence with a hammer and exposing himself to a woman, according to the Seattle Police Department.

At around 7 p.m. on April 19, officers responded to a report of a man throwing rocks in the 1200 block of Northeast 65th Street.

A witness told officers a man was seen throwing rocks through the windows of his business and was using a hammer to damage a fence.

The man was eventually found in the 6300 block of Brooklyn Avenue Northeast, where officers attempted to arrest him.

Officers then received more 911 reports, including one from a woman who said the man had exposed himself to her before he walked away.

As officers were taking the 51-year-old man into custody, officers say he pulled equipment off of one officer’s vest and attempted to grab another officer’s gun.

A Taser was deployed and the man was taken into custody.

The man was arrested on charges of property destruction, indecent exposure, assault and a felony warrant.

He was taken to Harborview Medical Center for an evaluation before he was booked into the King County Jail.
