Sketch released of knife-wielding intruder
By Jackson Holtz Herald Writer
EVERETT – Police are looking for help finding a man who reportedly broke into an Everett apartment early Sunday and attacked a man who was sleeping on a couch.
On Monday, Snohomish County sheriff’s detectives released a sketch of the man and asked anyone who recognized the drawing to call police.
On Sunday, the 40-year-old Everett man who was attacked was treated and released from the hospital, sheriff’s spokeswoman Rebecca Hover said.
The incident happened about 3:40 a.m. in the 12400 block of Admiralty Way. Detectives believe a man entered the apartment through a window and then attacked the 40-year-old man with a knife, Hover said.
The intruder ran away when the 40-year-old man's wife and two teenage daughters heard the commotion and came out of their rooms, Hover said.
Nothing was reported stolen, and the motive of the attack is unknown, Hover said. Police don't believe the man who was hurt knew his attacker.
The intruder is described as thin, about 20 years old and around 5 feet 8 inches to 6 feet tall. He had short brown hair and was wearing blue jeans.
Sheriff's deputies used police dogs to search the area but couldn't find the man. A witness told police the man may have escaped or hidden in a red truck a few blocks away. He may have been bleeding from injuries, Hover said.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call the sheriff's office tip line at 425-388-3845.
