The victim said the suspect was carrying a bag of knives at the time of the attack.

Seattle police are looking for a man accused of attacking a Capitol Hill business owner on Aug. 31 just after 5 p.m. The owner, Amber Myers, tells KIRO 7 the suspect was carrying a bag of knives at the time of the attack. Myers said it was a day like any other on East Madison Street when a man whom she didn’t recognize walked into her shop.

“When we got back there, he attempted to rape me,” she said. “I tried to fight him and at one point I grabbed the knife out of his hand and he grabbed it back and then I kicked it out of his hand.” Thankfully, she said a co-worker heard what was happening. “I just felt like he was coming to, on a mission, to cause trouble and that terrified me because I was all alone here,” she said. Now, Myers is warning people to be on the lookout for the man. She described him as tall and wearing a yellow face mask.
