8 p.m. on July 29, 2011. 1400th NW 53rd St

A couple driving around in Ballard parked along side the curb at 14 block of NW 53rd St to check their GPS navigator when a vehicle in front of them started backing up. The suspect vehicle, which had been occupied when the couple pulled over, began backing up. The victim in the driver's seat of the victim vehicle said he could see the driver of the suspect vehicle looking at him in the rear view mirror but continued to back up. The suspect vehicle struck the front of the victim vehicle and then turned around and pulled alongside the victims' vehicle.

The suspect yelled undescribed obscenities at the victims before heading northbound onto 15th Ave NW. The suspect then entered a driveway at the northeast corner of the intersection, turned and drove "at high speed" at the parked victim vehicle, coming to a stop only a couple of inches from the victim vehicle.

The suspect then drove away.

The victim's vehicle was not damaged by the impact and had been parked two car-lengths away from the vehicle in front of them.The victims felt the suspect had had more than enough room to leave the spot without striking their car and were confident that the suspect struck their car intentionally.

This occurred in daylight. The victims described the suspect as a white male in his 40s, heavy-set wearing "round-ish" eyeglasses. He had short brown hair, a "normal" hairline and haircut, and was wearing a polo shirt.
