Friday afternoon, massive police response to what law enforcement sources call a “drug deal gone bad” in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood.

Witnesses say the man in dreadlocks stabbed a woman in the temple over a hit of crack at the corner of 3rd Ave and Blanchard St.

Victim was transported to the hospital. Suspect was apprehended at the scene and put into an ambulance.

Another witness said, “cops barbecued and bean bagged his a**.”

This is the latest troubling incident to happen right in front of the problematic REACH homeless non-profit headquarters.

This area is one of the worst crime hot spots in the city due to the clientele REACH attracts and enables.
