The incident happened at the Beacon Hill station last Thursday shortly before 4 p.m. when a man allegedly struck two people with a hammer before escaping.
SEATTLE — Friday’s OL Reign game was a banner day for Sound Transit as the light rail was packed carrying passengers in and out of the city. For Tanya Brown, a light rail rider from Mukilteo, there’s truth to the saying that there is safety in numbers.
According to Sound Transit’s records, from January to August, there have been 155 assaults on passengers and workers – that includes reports of verbal assaults on Sound Transit employees. The majority, 70%, happen at the station versus on board a train. Elvia was hit in the head by a man wielding a hammer, “I did not expect him to have a reaction like that,” she said.“I glanced back just for a second to see where the ladies were at and he clobbered me. He was a lot faster than I thought he was,” Krogel said.
