4 suspects attack, rob man at downtown bus stop
SEATTLE - A man waiting for a bus a couple of blocks from Pike Place Market was attacked and robbed by four men Friday night.

Police said the man was waiting for the bus at 3rd Avenue and Pine Street at about 11:35 p.m. when two men approached the victim and asked him for money.

The two men then began to assault the victim, and two more suspects joined in the assault. During the attack, one of the suspects took the victim's wallet.

The victim received some injuries in the attack.

About an hour and a half later, the victim called back to 911 to report that at least two of his attackers were back in the area of 3rd Avenue and Pine Street.

Police arrived and took the 19-year-old suspects into custody after they were positively identified by the victim. They were later booked into the King County Jail.
