Man killed in dispute over Capitol Hill light rail station – KIRO 7 News Seattle

SEATTLE — A busy Capitol Hill train station screeched to a halt Saturday afternoon after police say a 37-year-old man was stabbed multiple times on the platform.

“They beat this man until he fell on the railing.”

I spoke to a man who said he saw two people fighting with the victim, which quickly escalated.

“The first thing the man said was, ‘I’ve been stabbed in the neck, I’m dying.'”

So traumatized by what had just happened, he didn’t want to go on camera.

The witness described seeing blood everywhere, so he jumped in to help.

“I went into my backpack and got some baby wipes and I gave most of them and said put it on him and let him lie down.”

The witness told me that others jumped in to try to stop the bleeding while they waited for the police.

“He slowly stopped moving and his face… his face turned white.”

Unfortunately, the 37-year-old died in hospital from his injuries.

The witness I spoke to told me it took between 10 and 15 minutes for the victim to be taken to hospital. The witness added that in such situations every second counts.
