Police arrived quickly and spotted the suspects: “Foot pursuit northbound on 19th”. Out of breath cop: “approaching Jefferson. Red jacket westbound”. 2nd male in all black westbound on Alder. The slow one is in custody just south of Jefferson. Other is possibly headed for grandma’s house at 200 block of 17th Ave. Personal effects of the suspect were found somewhere along his escape route. Update: They’ve confirmed that the outstanding suspect is the grandson, but grandma says he’s not home. They’re assuming he got away to somewhere else and are releasing containment of the area. The one that was caught had an outstanding warrant, so they’re booking him.

Seattle U security also called about him, and says he put his red bike on a #3 bus and hopped on, headed westbound on Jefferson. Dispatchers are requesting that the bus hold at harborview until police arrive. Update: Evidently he got off the bus before police arrived and headed westbound on Jefferson on his bike, towards the ER. He was soon located by police on that side of the hospital.
