Seattle police have arrested a man following a two-day spate of random stabbings that injured 10 people, including five on Friday, authorities said.
Police made an arrest following a series of attacks on Friday and said it is “plausible they are connected” to several other stabbings that unfolded on Thursday, Eric Barden, the city’s deputy police chief, told reporters at the scene.
There were similar suspect descriptions from the incidents and police believe they are related due to the “randomness” of the attacks, he said.
“This is a horrific tragedy,” Barden said.
The stabbings on Friday afternoon took place around 2pm in a roughly four-block area in Seattle’s Chinatown-International District.
