Perp looks like Bigfoot.
But I've never known of any big foot to "randomly" and violently attack people.

Newly-released videos show the moments a man attacked a woman at random outside the King County Courthouse in downtown Seattle earlier this month.
Fale Vaigalepa Pea, 42, was armed with a wooden board that had a screw through the end of it and used both hands to swing the weapon and strike the victim, 75-year-old Jeanette Marken, in the face, according to charges filed in King County Superior Court.
The hit gouged out Marken's eye, and she just learned that she will not recover her eyesight in the affected eye, family members told KOMO News on Friday.
"To take a wood club with nails and hit her at full force in the face? I don't understand it," said Andrius Dyrikis, the victim's son.
The video of the incident was recorded by the Seattle Police Real Time Crime Center. It shows a bystander taking a picture of the suspect, and then others begin tending to the wounded Marken. A King County Sheriff's Office deputy comes running over from the main entrance to the courthouse, and witnesses directed him to the suspect who had walked northbound on Third Avenue.
The deputy detained Pea near the intersection of Third Avenue and Cherry Street and called for assistance from Seattle police.
Body camera video from the responding officers shows they almost immediately recognized Pea.
“Is that Fale Pea?" a Seattle police officer asks another.
"Yeah, you know him?
"He's notorious for random assaults on Third," the officer says.
As paramedics are loading Marken onto a stretcher and treating her injury, an EMT asks an officer about the suspect:
"Who is this guy?"
"He's a regular. He usually punches. I guess today he decided to escalate from his usual."
Pea has been well known to law enforcement for years.

In a civilized society, none of this would be possible.
Perp looks like Bigfoot.

Why was this lunatic allowed to continue —and escalate— his attacks? ‘Democrats’, that’s why.
He should have his eye gouged out with a rusty spoon.
He was on their radar.
Clearly more gun control laws are needed!
Once again, no need to look.
Her bail is much higher than I expected in Seattle.

Prosecutors charged Fale Vaigalepa Pea with one count of first-degree assault on Dec. 9. He remains in jail on $1 million bail.
This guy was arrested many, many times. But no serious jail time. Liberals love this “catch-and-release” policy. It’s so compassionate!
And the victims who are scarred for life? Just collateral damage, I guess.
☹️
In Seattle? Who did Andrius vote for?
Samoan.
I wonder if they would have left a white random puncher free.
I wonder about the demographics of Pea’s targets.
White? Female? Elderly? Not homeless? Or did it not matter?
bttt
Court records show he was convicted by a jury and received an 18-month sentence of community custody.
Pea continued to rack up assault charges, including one case in 2020, four cases in 2023, and one case in 2024.
According to the King County jail, Fale has been booked eight times this year, though Seattle Municipal Court and King County Superior Court records show none of his arrests this year resulted in charges prior to the assault on Marken. Seattle police have arrested Pea repeatedly this year for charges of assault, indecent exposure, drugs, property destruction, unlawful use of weapons, and malicious mischief.
The King County Prosecuting Attorneys told KOMO News that none of his prior arrest from this year were referred to their office for felony charges. The Seattle City Attorney's Office, which handles misdemeanor offenses, did not immediately have information on case referrals for Pea.
Infuriating that he was “well known” by the police for these “random” attacks - yet he was free, in Seattle, to continue carrying them out against innocent people.
This is what they voted for, apparently.
“Random” ™
Andrius Dyrikis, the victim’s son, doesn’t understand the brutal attack on his mom.
Well, Andrius. Join FR and you will understand very clearly and very fast.
“He’s notorious for random assaults on Third,” the officer says.
But what about screw control?
