Washington man allegedly lures police with bogus 911 call, slashes officer in face

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

A man who allegedly ambushed two police officers after luring them to a transit center with a bogus 911 call has been charged, according to documents obtained by Fox News Digital that reveal new details about the attack.

The officer-involved shooting took place in downtown Bellevue, Washington, at around 12:25 p.m. Friday at the Bellevue Transit Center. Bellevue is a city located just east of Seattle.

The suspect, Mohamed Morray Bangura, 38, calmly spoke with the officers for several seconds, pretending to point out an argument he reported on 911, according to charging documents.

That’s when he allegedly suddenly unzipped his jacket pocket, pulled out a kitchen knife and lunged at one officer with an ice-pick-style stabbing motion. 

When the officer dodged the blow, Bangura allegedly turned toward another officer and slashed the right side of his face. He then stabbed him twice more as the officer fell to the ground, according to charging documents. 

The police officer suffered a six-inch facial laceration, a dislocated shoulder and a broken clavicle, the documents state.

The uninjured officer then fired six shots, striking Bangura three times in the arm, leg and hip before the officers were able to pull back, according to the documents.

Bangura was transported to Harborview Medical Center, where he was treated for his gunshot wounds. His current condition is unknown.

Prosecutors have charged Bangura with assault in the first degree with a deadly-weapon enhancement and assault in the second degree with a deadly-weapon enhancement.

Charging documents list a Seattle address for Bangura. However, a prior police contact in September reported that he was found sleeping on the property of the First Congregational Church, located near the Bellevue Transit Center.

The King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office said the defendant “had animus towards an unrelated officer at Bellevue PD” after filing a complaint the day before the attack.

Bangura had allegedly threatened a security guard after being asked to leave church property near the transit center and a police officer responded and filed a report indicating that Bangura had threatened the security officer. The officer told Bangura he would be referring harassment charges.

Instead of letting that process play out, prosecutors said, Bangura “armed himself with a knife and assaulted two other innocent, unwitting officers who thought they were responding to a call of domestic violence,” the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office said.

Seconds before attempting to stab both officers, Bangura allegedly said, “Officer [X] put a false case on me,” prosecutors said.

Prosecutors said the first-degree assault charge covers the stabbing of the Bellevue officer. The second-degree charge applies to the partner officer, who was attacked but not physically stabbed.

The accompanying officer is still considered a victim of second-degree assault because, under Washington law, physical contact or bodily injury is not required for an assault charge, prosecutors said.

Bangura will be arraigned on Thursday, Dec. 18, police said.
