A man told police he suffered a broken jaw and cracked ribs when he was beaten and possibly run over in what he said wan an unprovoked assault on E Olive Way last Friday night outside CC’s.
According to the SPD report on the incident, the victim said he was outside smoking just after midnight when three unknown males ran across the street and began the attack. The victim told police the first male punched him in the jaw and knocked him to the pavement while the other males continued to assault him on the ground. The victim said he then saw headlights approaching but was unsure if the vehicle was trying to scare off the attackers or pick them up. The next thing the man said he remembered was being under the vehicle.
According to the report, after the assault, the man went inside to collect his friends to leave but did not call medics or go to a hospital until he felt the pain from his injuries on Saturday and did not report the assault to police until the following Monday. According to the report, the victim had suffered a broken jaw, cracked ribs and abrasions on his back and shoulder in the attack.
The victim said he did not get a good look at his assailants who he described only as three black males.
The victim told police he did not think he had encountered the males earlier in the night and said he had not done anything to provoke the attack.
Hey guys,
This is Chris Daw the Manager of CC’s, This is the first that I’m hearing of an attack near our establishment… I was here last Friday night, tending bar up front and we had 2 security staff on duty. No one reported anything to any of us on duty and no one here saw any unusual activity outside. The thing for people to remember is we can’t do anything or focus on potential trouble areas unless someone tells us there is a problem! Do we need to have a Security person outside at all times? was this person smoking in the designated area on Olive Way in front of the building where there is traffic and light or was he smoking in the dark alleyway (Boyleston) that was unlit and has almost no traffic, also clearly posted as a NO smoking area. All of us at CC’s work very hard to provide a safe venue for Seattle’s Gay Community! You are our Brothers and Sisters. Please help us keep you safe! Speak up when you see something suspicious. Report any acts of violence or hate immediately! When smoking outside, stay in the lighted areas and smoke with a friend.
idiot probably tripped and fell and blamed it on some imaginary black guys. the crew at CCs would not have missed this if it happened in front of their bar.
I think you would know if you got run over by a car.
Your comment reeks of bullshit. Why would someone file a false police report if they tripped and fell?
There is an urban legend, or maybe truth, that you will recieve assistance from the city if you dont have medical insurance and are the victim of a crime that results in injuries. Have heard the “assault” claim several times while working in the E.R. Never found out if it is true or not.
“Imaginary black guys”???? You have GOT to be kidding.
I think he’s attempting to be funny.
Outside CC’s on a Friday night, just after midnight, and no one else saw it happen?
Really?
“The victim said he did not get a good look at his assailants who he described only as three black males.”
Naturally.
Huh.
smoking kills.
there definitely seems to be something that doesn’t add up about this story.
