Police Seek Public Help to Track Down Officer Assaulter

As our partner site, the Seattle Times, reported earlier today, the Seattle Police have released the photo of man who was charged last Friday with assaulting an officer following a car chase turned foot chase that began near Aurora Avenue North and 90th Street.

Seattle police are asking for the public's help in locating Steve C. Hyatt, who was charged last week with assaulting a police officer and attempting to disarm her following a Feb. 10 pursuit in North Seattle.

Hyatt, 33, was charged Friday with assault, attempting to disarm the officer, attempting to elude a pursuing police vehicle and hit-and-run driving.

He is described as a white, 5-feet-6, 180 pounds, with green eyes and short-cropped hair. A recent photograph of Hyatt, taken by police after a separate arrest for driving while under the influence, was released by police.

Anyone who sees Hyatt should call 911 immediately, and anyone with information should call Seattle police Detective Tim Wear at 206-684-8935, police said.
