SEATTLE — The Seattle Police Department (SPD) says a 31-year-old woman was arrested on Sunday for allegedly stabbing a man in the back of the head with a toothbrush.
The incident happened near Salty’s Seafood Restaurant on Alki Beach at around 11 a.m.
Police say the woman “jabbed a 34-year-old man in the back of the head with the backside of what appeared to be a toothbrush.”
Both individuals appeared to be intoxicated, and there was an altercation before the assault, SPD says.
The man sustained a scratch and put a bandage on his own head, according to police. Officers saw dried blood, but he was not actively bleeding, and because he was uncooperative and refused medical treatment, the man was released from the scene.
Police say the woman was booked into the King County Jail, facing charges of assault.
