Woman blinded in one eye after attack in downtown Seattle

A 42-year-old man has been charged with assault after he allegedly struck the woman with a wood stick on Dec. 5.

SEATTLE — A 42-year-old man is accused of attacking an elderly woman unprovoked in downtown Seattle earlier this month, leaving her with broken facial bones and without vision in one eye, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.

Prosecutors charged Fale Vaigalepa Pea with one count of first-degree assault on Dec. 9. He remains in jail on $1 million bail.

According to charging documents, Pea was walking on the sidewalk of 3rd Avenue near James Street behind the 75-year-old victim, who was standing on a street corner waiting to cross.

Pea allegedly struck the woman in the face with a large wooden stick he was carrying, then continued walking away, charging documents state. Witnesses told police Pea swung the board “like a baseball bat.”

The wooden stick had a metal screw sticking out of it, which cut the woman’s head and face as she was knocked to the ground. Witnesses rushed to the woman’s aid before first responders arrived, documents state.

Surveillance video from the King County Courthouse captured the attack. 

Pea was arrested a short time later by King County Sheriff’s Office deputies. Records show he has prior misdemeanor assault conviction from 2024, four times in 2023 and in 2020.

The woman was left with a broken nose, broken cheek bone and blindness in her right eye, according to her son. Her son told police that there is only a 10% chance she will regain vision in her right eye, and she may have to have her eye removed in the future.

A wood stick with a screw in it?  Convicted of assault in 2024, 4 times in 2023, and once in 2020.    Why was this guy out there?   Seattle is so safe that something like this happens right outside the King County Courthouse.   Just fantastic.   It does seem that stuff like this happens with repeat offenders who should not have been on the street.   Another case of the city not protecting its residents by locking up criminals.
