The driver was not hurt but was questioned at the scene, put in handcuffs and taken into custody by Seattle Police.

Our news partner Q13 FOX is reporting that King County Sheriffs are seeking the public's help in finding a 22 year old suspect who was charged on Nov. 25 with trying to kidnap a woman from a White Center business on Nov. 24.

The Q13 report states: "The sheriff’s office says the incident occurred just after noon Tuesday at a state government office on 15th Ave SW in White Center.

Detectives say the suspect, Dillon Graham, put his hand over the woman’s mouth as she was coming out of the bathroom and then put her in a chokehold. She bit his fingers and hit him in the groin. A security officer rounded the corner and saw the attack. The officer pepper-sprayed Graham and fought with him. Graham took off running but dropped his wallet with his ID in it and his cell phone.

The victim positively identified Graham as the attacker, court documents said.
