SEATTLE (AP) — A 35-year-old man was arrested inside the King County Courthouse after Seattle police say he hid in a restroom and attacked a woman who works at the courthouse.
Police spokesperson Randy Huserik says a sheriff’s deputy walking by the restroom Thursday heard the woman’s screams and intervened. He said the woman didn’t require medical treatment.
The Prosecutor’s Office characterized the incident as an attempted rape.
KIRO News is reporting the suspect had just been released from jail the previous day after committing similar crimes.
