Topic: Shouldering assault
My neighbor was shouldered after getting off the bus on at the delridge station. The perpetrator walked towards him in a purposefully diagonal route, proceeded to shoulder him, stunning him. At least a younger teen called out the perpetrator as he fled onto the bus.
Based on recent social media posts, shouldering assaults have occurred in Japan to young women not aware of their surroundings (distracted by their phone), allegedly by disgruntled men usually in crowded areas where the perpetrators can easily flee afterwards.
Lately, there seems to be more panhandlers throughout west seattle junctions. It’s concerning that petty crimes may occurring more often in west seattle.
Please be aware and be safe.
