SEATTLE — Seattle police said a 14-year-old was arrested Friday after attempting to rob a fellow middle school student of their bike at knifepoint.
The attempted robbery happened just after 4 p.m. Friday at McClure Middle School, located in the Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle.
Police said staff at the school allowed Seattle officers to review surveillance video, "but refused to disclose the student's full identity." Police also said the first name of the suspect was known to multiple witnesses.
About 2.5 hours later, police said, the mother of the suspect contacted police, saying that school staff had reached out about the incident. Officers responded to the residence of the student, and that student was eventually arrested.
The 14-year-old boy was booked on suspicion of robbery in the first degree, police said.
