Two drivers intentionally ran over pedestrians during the same night in one Washington city, police said.
Police shared videos of the “callous crimes” Friday, Dec 8, in hopes of finding more information about the incidents.
In the first incident, a driver is seen “purposely hitting” a woman at 1.50am Nov 26 on North 107th Street, near Aurora Avenue North, the Seattle Police Department said in a news release.
Bystanders stopped to help the woman, and she was carried into a vehicle and driven away, police said.
A surveillance camera recorded the incident, and there was also video taken from a cellphone within the vehicle. In the cellphone video, someone is heard saying “hit” multiple times and laughing.
The second incident, also on Nov 26, was recorded on a cellphone and shows passengers laughing inside the vehicle as they strike a pedestrian. The victim was walking in a bus lane when they were hit and flew over the hood, police said.
This incident happened in the 9600 block of Aurora Avenue North, police said. It’s unclear, though, what time the assault happened, police said.
The drivers fled after each incident, police said. The victims were likely seriously injured following the impact.
Police have been unable to identify the victims. – The Charlotte Observer/Tribune News Service
