Sheriff's Office Releases Sketch of Suspect in Stabbing

Police released a sketch Friday of a suspect in Wednesday's stabbing of a 15-year-old girl near Maple Valley on a dirt trail south of the Lake Wilderness Trail.

The teen sustained a non-life-threatening stab wound to her leg after she was reportedly attacked by two men, a King County Sheriff's Office news release says. Originally the stabbing was reported to have taken place while she was walking on the Lake Wilderness Trail near Maple Valley.

Little information is available on the other suspect. He was wearing a dark green zip-up hoodie.

Deputies responded to a home on the 23900 block of S.E. 284th Street at around 8 p.m. Wednesday to a report the girl had been stabbed.

She told deputies she was on the trail when she was approached by two men. They reportedly called her names as she walked by and as she tried to avoid them they grabbed her and threw her to the ground. The girl told police they tried to take her pants off, and one man stabbed her in the leg as she tried to escape.

The girl fled to a friend's home, which was where she was met by the deputies after calling 911.

The suspects have not been located. They are described as two white men in their late teens to early 20s. One man was possibly wearing a dark hoodie and camouflage shorts.
