A 20-year-old naked man arrested Monday by Kirkland Police for attacking people with a pitchfork nearly bled to death after jumping out of the closed bedroom window of a home.

The man, who was eventually transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, had initially left EvergreenHealth in the Totem Lake neighborhood at around noon.

The Kirkland Police Department (KPD) was contacted by hospital staff out of concern, followed shortly after that by at least five people in a 30 minute time frame, all reporting assaults by a man wearing scrubs with either his fists, a stick or a pitchfork stolen from a residence. None of the assault victims suffered life-threating injuries.

Due to his proximity to Robert Frost Elementary School, police notified school officials, who initiated lockdown protocol.

During the fifth attack, the suspect entered the home and struck the female resident, then crashed through a bedroom window, which left him with severe wounds. He was later found naked by KPD in the middle of a cul-de-sac on the 14300 block of 118th Avenue NE, who applied a tourniquet to his wounds while Kirkland Fire Department transported him to Harborview Medical Center.

According to KPD Spokesperson Lt. Mike Murray, they were later informed by Harborview hospital staff that if they had not applied the tourniquet the man would have bled to death.

“He was barely alive at that point,” he said.

An investigation is underway, but Murray said they are already looking at felony charges for assault and possibly burglary as well.

It is not known at this time whether the man was high or intoxicated, though Murray said they have submitted a toxicology lab.
