Man suspected of stabbing spree in Seattle held on $2m bail

Police say 37-year-old stabbed five people on Friday in broad daylight and possibly four others the day before

A 37-year-old man who police say stabbed five people in Seattle in broad daylight on Friday and possibly four others the day before made his first court appearance Saturday where a judge ordered him held on $2m bail.

“People who live in and travel to the Chinatown-International District deserve to feel safe and be safe,” said King county prosecuting attorney Leesa Manion after the judge found probable cause to hold him on five counts of first-degree assault.
