Man allegedly tries to cut A&F employees over pilfered cologne

SEATTLE -- I've heard of Abercrombie & Fitch models being cut, but this is ridiculous.

A man armed with a knife threatened a handful of Abercrombie & Fitch employees over a pilfered bottle of cologne Tuesday night, according to the Seattle Police Department.

The man entered the store near Fourth and Pine around 7:30 p.m. According to police, management believes the man has shoplifted from the store before, so they kept an eye on him.

Employees watched as the man put a bottle of cologne from a display into his gym bag and confronted him when he tried to leave the store, according to police.

According to police, the man brandished a knife at the employees, who backed off and called 911.

Officers arrived and arrested the man a few blocks away. He was booked into King County Jail for investigation of robbery.
