EVERETT — They don’t know how he was injured, and for a time Monday, they didn’t know his name, but Everett police are investigating how a Kirkland man wound up at a fire station here, suffering from a life-threatening head wound.
The investigation began just after 10 a.m. when the man, 35, was brought to an Everett Fire Department station in the 9500 block of Evergreen Way. The victim had a severe head injury. While firefighters came to his aid, the two men who brought him to the station slipped away, Everett police spokesman Boyd Bryant said.
The victim’s condition was critical, and he was taken by helicopter to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
The man was carrying no identification, and police initially didn’t know who he was. They put out information about his physical description in the hopes of leading to an identification. But by late afternoon, police had positively identified the man by tracking down the owner of a cellular telephone he was carrying, Bryant said.
Police declined to release the man’s identification. They were hopeful that somebody knows more about how he was injured, and maybe the identities of the men who dropped him at the fire station.
