A group of young men severely beat a Kent man late Tuesday at the Federal Way Transit Center after he told one of them to lower his voice, police said Wednesday.
The Kent man, 32, was waiting for a bus about 11 p.m. when he asked a loud youth to quiet down, police said. In response, several males in their teens or early 20s walked up to the man and one hit him in the face.
The two began to fight and others in the group joined in. After the Kent man was knocked to the ground, the attackers ran away and police were unable to find them.
Police said the man suffered a broken jaw and broken facial bones and lost several teeth. He was being treated Wednesday at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
Police said they were following leads and reviewing security video of the incident.
The young man who threw the first punch was described as black and about 5 feet 8 to 5 feet 10 inches tall, with black, braided hair. He wore long, dark shorts, a white T-shirt, dark shoes and a blue or black baseball cap.
The second attacker was described as black and 5 feet 8 to 5 feet 10. He wore long, dark shorts, a black T-shirt with white lettering, dark shoes and a black baseball cap with a yellow bill.
This was the third recent violent incident at the center at South 317th Street and 23rd Avenue South.
In January 2008, Darrel Miller, 38, was shot and killed while walking across a bus lane. In September 2008, Muse Sugulle, 30, was stabbed on a King County Metro Transit bus while it was leaving the station.
I saw the video. I know the victim is white this time. But MUCH more often the victim is black, which doesn’t jive with your “White, of course” answer.
“Blacks.”
We can read.
“Im surprised that any of the perps were described as black.
Pretty standard when they’re still looking for suspects. Not so when they’re already in custody.
Yeah, he best learn to keep his damn mouth shut and stay in his place.
yotchga!
I’m sure they were being extremely rude but I also think the victim was probably drunk.
Mostly mischief. Barely a petty crime. They might get 5-10 days under supervision.

what cowards.
As soon as I read the headline I knew the victim was white and the attackers were black. Well, actually I thought it was some Muslims in London but as soon as I saw it was in Seattle I knew.
I learned the hard way, in an majority black urban high school, that certain segments of our society only understand violence.
You can’t reason with them, you just need to be prepared to fight.
It’s a good thing I didn’t have access to firearms in high school as my life would have turned out differently and a few thugs would be dead in the process...

“Federal Way is turning in to another Rainier Beach.”
You got that right - I graduated from high school there in 1970 and it is not a nice place anymore. Lots of Russians, Koreans and Kenyans - the more “diversity” the higher the crime rate, apparently.
maybe so, but once these grazhny bratchny’s end up in the Staja and get turned out as Ptitsa’s, they may end up doing the old in-out-in-out to his music......
I’ve had it with all their whining about “racism”.
It’s empty. Hollow.
The largest single killer of young black American males is OTHER young black American males.
By far. I mean WAY far. Not even close to any other cause.
They should round up every white female between 12 and 15 to see if they had any involvement. Then move to the Asians males between 45 and 70, then Hispanic infants and toddlers. Maybe they will find the culprits. (We don’t want to profile, now, do we?)
