SEATTLE - A man was stabbed repeatedly with a fork then punched during a large disturbance involving more than 50 people early Sunday in Seattle's International District, police said.

Seattle police were dispatched to the scene, outside a restaurant in the 500 block of Maynard Avenue South, at about 2:35 a.m.

There they found 50 or more people spilling onto the street from the restaurant, all pushing and shoving each other. It was unclear if all of them were involved in the disturbance, or had come out to watch.

The restaurant staff locked the doors after everyone spilled out, preventing anyone from coming back in.

One officer spotted a bloody victim pinned against the locked door and saw another man punching him. The officer jumped in and stopped the assault.

After the suspect was in custody, it was determined that the victim had been stabbed repeatedly with a fork inside the restaurant.

A preliminary investigation found that the suspect attacked the victim after he saw him dancing with a woman at another nightclub, and the suspect took offense, police said.

The victim was transported to Harborview Medical Center for treatment of his injuries, which included fork stab wounds to his head, hand, and other areas.

At 2:35 a.m. in Seattle, there is nothing to get into except trouble.

Bill is still in the hospital.

[BradyLS]

Not for a lack of fork, but a lack of tine.

[ModelBreaker]

I’m just glad there was no alcohol involved. /s

[I see my hands]

"Wouldn't of happened.."

What does that mean?

[Yardstick]

At least it wasn’t a spork. That would have been...ridiculous.

[MrEdd]

If you break one of the tines of of your fork...it will be a threek.

[MrEdd]

Only a weasel would use a spork.

The assailant was a musician, it turns out.

Watch it pal, there are ladies on high horses on the (Janis) Joplin thread ready to condemn you to hell!

[Tainan]

Janis (Joplin) is still dead.

[Revolting cat!]

Or was it a fork in the road?

[Mazey]

Dang, just when I was working up the courage to suggest a little dinner and a little dancing!

[Revolting cat!]

The victim's grave monument.
