Last Tuesday, a Nordstrom employee went out for a smoke break on 6th Avenue; she "lit her cigarette and the suspect approached her and put his face right in front of her face and asked for a light," a Seattle police report says. She said she didn't have a light, so the suspect asked for a cigarette, but she refused to give him one. According to the police report, the man then "became very upset and cocked his hand back as if he was going to hit her," so she pulled her head back so only the man's fingertips hit her. The man started to run southbound, but when he heard her yelling to the "valet guys" to call 911, the woman said he came at her again, calling her a "bitch" and a "cunt".

The woman said she tried to run across the street to the "valet guys," but there were too many cars, so she "stood on the sidewalk and braced herself as the suspect approached her," the report continues. She told police that the suspect "again got right in her face and this time spit in her face." The man, according to the report, escaped southbound on 6th Avenue. The report says, the suspect "had blond hair and was wearing a gray zipper hoodie and green baggy cargo pants" and "had a very noticeable bruise under his left eye."
