A 15-year old black teenager was jumped by a group of teens that stalked and threatened her in a Seattle Metro bus tunnel. The incident was witnessed by Seattle Metro security guards and Seattle police officers who stood by, watched, and did nothing to stop the attacks upon the 15-year-old Seattle teen.

A police spokesman sought to deflect responsibility from the two officers who allowed the attack to happen by asking the public to focus on the attackers.
