Police arrested a man who is accused of attacking a woman and her father on Sunday in Downtown Seattle.
The two were walking to see a movie at the Cinerama on Fourth Avenue and Lenora Street when they came across a man who was acting erratically and aggressive, according to a police report.
As they tried to avoid the man, he started following them.
Police said the woman noticed the man had his right hand in his pocket and his left hand up. She feared that he was going to strike her so she pulled out a baton from her purse to defend herself. The man then grabbed the woman's arms and shook her while twisting the baton out of her hand.
The father jumped in to stop the man and told police the suspect struck him with the baton.
Police said the suspect appeared to be under the influence of narcotics. He was arrested for felony assault and was taken to the King County Jail.
