Lacey police looking for man accused of stabbing woman on Martin Way
Lacey Police are looking for a man who allegedly stabbed a 25-year-old woman on Martin Way East near the Marq on Martin Apartments complex on Thursday.
The woman called police around 3 p.m. after being stabbed in the chest, said detective Mike Caranto.
In the hour after the call, law enforcement could be seen setting up a perimeter and searching the area for the unknown assailant who has been described as a 6-foot, mixed race man in his 20s with a thin build and blue clothing.
Caranto said the woman retained the man’s knife and has been transported to Providence St. Peter Hospital. He added she is in stable condition and is expected to make a full a recovery.
The attack reportedly occurred by a bus stop on Martin Way, Caranto said, and the man was last seen running west, away from the bus stop.
Police attempted to track the suspect with a K9 unit but the man has not been located so far, he said.
Late Thursday night, Lacey Police also asked the public for help identifying a man on a bus who they believe may have information about the incident. In images released in a news release, the dark-haired man appears to be wearing a white mask with blue pants, a gray jacket and dark boots.
Anyone who may have witnessed the incident or may have more information is asked to call Thurston County Dispatch at 360-704-2740 or Crime Stoppers 1-800-222-TIPS.
