SEATTLE (AP) — A 35-year-old man was arrested inside the King County Courthouse after Seattle police say he hid in a restroom and attacked a woman who works at the courthouse. The Seattle Times reports police spokesperson Sgt. Randy Huserik says a sheriff’s deputy walking by the restroom Thursday heard the woman’s screams and intervened.
