A 35-year-old Seattle man was booked into the King County Jail on Monday morning on investigation of assault and malicious mischief, accused of throwing chunks of concrete onto Interstate 5 in Kent, injuring one man and causing damage to four vehicles, according to the Washington State Patrol.

Just before 12:30 a.m. Monday, a motorist called 911 and reported a pedestrian had thrown a rock onto the freeway near South 272nd Street, damaging the victim’s windshield, Trooper Rick Johnson wrote in a news release. The first trooper to arrive notified dispatchers that two motorists with damage to their vehicles were waiting to talk to a trooper. The first trooper said he would be pursuing a pedestrian on foot, the release says.

The trooper then found the suspect lying in tall grass, near large chunks of concrete that appeared to have been broken off a barrier, Johnson wrote. The man was detained, and one of the motorists later identified him as the person who threw a chunk of concrete at the motorist’s vehicle, says the news release.

The investigation was moved off the interstate to a nearby parking lot, where two more motorists reported damage to their vehicles, according to the release. One man received minor injuries after being struck in the shoulder by a hunk of concrete; he also had minor cuts to his face and arms from his shattered windshield, the release says.

As of June, the State Patrol had received 74 reports of rocks being thrown at vehicles on Interstates 5 and 90 in Seattle.

The ‘man arrested’ is female in other depictions of the story.
