Man breaks into Q-13 FOX studios-attacks security officer
Seattle WA June 6 2017
Seattle police arrested a 28-year-old man early Monday after they say he attacked a security officer and broke through a secured door at Q-13 FOX studios.
Just before 3 a.m., the 26-year-old security guard heard a loud bang at the front window of the TV station, at 1813 Westlake Ave. N., and went to investigate, said police spokesman Patrick Michaud.
The man kicked and struck the security officer, then broke a secure door before walking away as another employee called 911, he said.
The man was quickly arrested across the street from the television station. He told officers he “wanted to meet a friend,” said Michaud, who couldn’t provide additional details.
The security guard did not have any reported injuries, said Michaud.
The online 911 emergency log does show a single engine responded to the studios on an aid call.
The suspect was booked into the King County Jail on investigation of felony assault.
Police that the man is not known to station employees and do not have a motive for the attack.
