Washington man allegedly lures police with bogus 911 call, slashes officer in face

A man who allegedly ambushed two police officers after luring them to a transit center with a bogus 911 call has been charged, according to documents obtained by Fox News Digital that reveal new details about the attack.

The officer-involved shooting took place in downtown Bellevue, Washington, at around 12:25 p.m. Friday at the Bellevue Transit Center. Bellevue is a city located just east of Seattle.

The suspect, Mohamed Morray Bangura, 38, calmly spoke with the officers for several seconds, pretending to point out an argument he reported on 911, according to charging documents.

That's when he allegedly suddenly unzipped his jacket pocket, pulled out a kitchen knife and lunged at one officer with an ice-pick-style stabbing motion. 

When the officer dodged the blow, Bangura allegedly turned toward another officer and slashed the right side of his face. He then stabbed him twice more as the officer fell to the ground, according to charging documents. 

The police officer suffered a six-inch facial laceration, a dislocated shoulder and a broken clavicle, the documents state.

The uninjured officer then fired six shots, striking Bangura three times in the arm, leg and hip before the officers were able to pull back, according to the documents.

Bangura was transported to Harborview Medical Center, where he was treated for his gunshot wounds. His current condition is unknown.

Prosecutors have charged Bangura with assault in the first degree with a deadly-weapon enhancement and assault in the second degree with a deadly-weapon enhancement.

Charging documents list a Seattle address for Bangura. However, a prior police contact in September reported that he was found sleeping on the property of the First Congregational Church, located near the Bellevue Transit Center.

The suspect, Mohamed Morray Bangura, 38

Something, I don't know what, sounds familiar about that name.

Somebody else who does not belong in our country, and knows he has nothing to offer but crazed and random challenges.

Too reminiscent of the ploy used in the City of Detroit, reportedly a common one, in which a derelict calls for emergency 911 medical help in order “to get a free ride” instead of paying for a bus. Phony illness crisis.

A terrible one I haven’t forgotten—A blonde, young white woman EMT tech and the driver rushed to help the derelict, a disheveled looking black man.

In the dark when they approached him he suddenly flashed a sharp blade and deliberately made a long, deep gash into the face of the woman. Later he said he had just made the 911 call to get someone to come out so he could slash them.

In court when he was convicted, the woman said “Every morning when I see myself in the mirror and when someone turns away in public I remember you for doing this to me.”
Plastic surgeons could do only so much and the muscle and nerve damage was extensive so she can smile, talk or kiss someone and she has trouble eating and drinking.

“Homeless” perp is listed as living in a million-dollar home, had previous addresses in Texas and Maryland, appears to have relatives in Seattle and Maryland. I’d check if any money was wired to family members as payment for this attempted hit.

“The uninjured officer then fired six shots, striking Bangura three times in the arm, leg and hip before the officers were able to pull back, according to the documents.”

At arms length, 6 shots, hitting arm, leg, and hip? Wonder how long she had been a cop?

Embarrassing.

Bellevue, WA, can be described as an international city, especially the Downtown Business area, where this attack took place.

Limited Black and Hispanic - probably 10% at most.

Primarily white and Asian - tech and business professionals.

Psycho Muslims - and violent crime - are rare.

Yeah. Good catch. Otherwise my mind might have wandered toward the ethnicity and popularity of the first name. Saved just in time.
