As agitators started fires and burned a flag outside the East Precinct, a woman used a machete to attack a security guard across the street. She confused him for a Seattle police officer.
Ernanda Bendtsen, 32, spotted a security guard at 12th Ave Arts on Capitol Hill as she was driving by.
According to the Seattle Police Department, she shouted insults at the 50-year-old guard from her window, including calling him a child molester. It escalated from there.
Police say Bendtsen then pulled over and exited the vehicle with a Nerf Blaster toy gun to approach the guard. He has been identified as Wade Biller. She asked if he was police, and he said no. She didnt seem to believe him.
Court documents say she returned to her vehicle, warning Biller I got something for you. Thats when she pulled out a 12-inch machete.
When she walked towards Biller, machete in hand, he ran into the building he was guarding and tried to pull the door shut. But Bendtsen was able to fight to keep the door partially open.
In the struggle, she slashed the mans arm, leaving two five-inch wounds.
Eventually, she gave up and fled in her car, but the damage was significant. When Seattle police arrived, they found the guard bleeding profusely from the cuts. According to police, some of the agitators tended first aid since their goal has been to harm police officers, not security guards, and I guess they were done waging their assault on the East Precinct.
Luckily, police found Bendtsen nearby. She pulled into a gas station to change her clothes. Police spotted her and placed her under arrest.

Roided
The nose-ring makes her look really ugly ...
A nice visit to GITMO would be her reward.
Roid rage. That is likely one seriously screwed up endocrine system. People who are not on drugs won’t typically do machete attacks.
Just another day in Seattle’s ‘Summer of Love’.
Foreigners may stop sending their kids here if that’s how they turn out.
That's not a machete. That's a kitchen knife. I would think 18 to 24 inches for a machete.
I looked at her photo and immediately thought "Anabolic steroids!"
A charming young lady, her parents must be so proud of her. And it was Just a case of mistaken identity, nothing to be concerned with. Had she not made this very simple mistake, all would have ended as planned. /s
I was thinking the same. At best, the average Bowie.
nut-case!
When you need the police, Seattle police are just there to assess cause of death.
Hmmm. Youd never know shes nuts just by looking at her
