Police: "We need to find the (black female) attackers," and Westlake Park victim
 SEATTLE — Her face is bloodied, bruised, and swollen, but the woman seen staggering away from a vicious public beating in broad daylight is still a mystery to police. "We don't know where to find her, and we need to," Seattle Police Detective Renee Witt said. Even veteran SPD officers were astonished when they saw the cellphone video, which shows a defenseless woman being punched, kicked and stomped relentlessly by three other women for almost 60 seconds. The attack happened in the middle of crowded Westlake Park, and no one there seemed interested in stopping it. Officers detained three suspects in a nearby alley, but eyewitnesses would not identify them as the assailants, so officers had no choice but to let them go. "We know who those suspects are and where they live," Witt said. "If someone can lead us to the victim, we would be able to go and arrest them." - (Black-on-white) |
