BELLINGHAM, Wash. – A transient man was arrested in connection with a stabbing that occurred last month.
Court documents state that the suspect entered a store in downtown Bellingham on August 18th and asked employees for a knife sharpener.
The suspect then followed two customers out of the store and attempted to punch one of them.
When that failed, he pulled out a knife and stabbed one of the customers above their eye.
The injured customer required stitches.
On Tuesday, Bellingham Police identified and arrested 33-year-old Anthony Beckwith in connection with the stabbing.
