Police said a Domino’s delivery man was “brutally” beaten by a 14-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl last Friday evening, right outside the Gage Academy of Art. The location is telling: it鈥檚 directly across the street from the Seattle Police Department鈥檚 (SPD) West Precinct. That鈥檚 how brazen criminals have become.
The alleged assault occurred after an argument involving the delivery man, who was delivering a pizza via a bicycle, and juveniles. According to the police report, the victim asked the two juveniles to move their electric Lime bicycle that was blocking the sidewalk on 7th Avenue and Blanchard Street. When he continued to bike to the delivery address for the pizza, he told police he was followed by the two juveniles, who then assaulted him.
In a video of the assault, posted by Seattle Submission on X, police say the victim was pummeled multiple times by the juveniles. The man was punched and kicked multiple times in the head and body, before being taken to the ground by the male. The female is seen kicking him in the head multiple times. The victim was referenced in the police report.
According to the victim, the juvenile boy said he was a member of a street gang before saying, “I should kill you.”

Juvenile allegedly confesses, but says he was ‘disrespected’
The juveniles fled, but were arrested about one mile away after police got descriptions and viewed witness video. The male suspect, per the police report, told police that the victim called him a “b*tch,” and told him to get out of the way.
“[Suspect] stated that he will not tolerate disrespect from anyone, so he followed the victim couple of blocks to confront the victim,” the police officer wrote in the incident report. SPD has not confirmed whether or not this statement is truthful.
“[Suspect] stated that he walked up to victim and was within the arm’s reach of the victim to verbally confront the victim, but the victim pushed him away with his hand,” the police report continues. “Suspect [name redacted] stated that he believed no one is allowed to hit him as he is a 14-year-old juvenile, and especially when the victim had disrespected him. Suspect [name redacted] stated that he knowingly beat the victim by throwing closed fist punches on the victim’s head after pushing down the victim to the ground.”
One victim in custody, other wasn’t booked. Yes, there’s a criminal history
SPD explained to “The Jason Rantz Show” on KTTH that the 14-year-old boy was arrested for Felony Harassment and Misdemeanor Assault in 4th Degree. He was booked into juvenile detention at the Judge Patricia H. Clark Children and Family Justice Center.
While the 15-year-old girl was also arrested for Assault 4th Degree, she was released from police custody to a family member. The juvenile detention center declined the booking because it was a misdemeanor case.
The victim suffered minor injuries.
It’s unclear if the female suspect has a criminal history. But the boy, who is not being named by KTTH or MyNorthwest because of his age, has a criminal history, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. Charges for domestic violence were previously dropped because they could not find the alleged victim. And he’s currently involved in a case from June, charged for possession of a stolen vehicle and eluding police.
The boy was also reported missing from the Des Moines Police Department in late 2024, but that issue has since been resolved.
According to users on Reddit, the juvenile suspects have been problems in the neighborhood. Last week, a user posted photos of the teen and said the boy was riding a Lime bike recklessly. After he said something, the two allegedly ” started coming to our face and shouting racial slurs and pushed me a lot of times, threatening to kill me if my mom was not with me. By the time I could’ve called 911, they ran away.”
This alleged assault highlights a surging problems with juveniles
This disturbing case exposes exactly how broken our juvenile justice system has become.
When a 14-year-old feels so emboldened that he brags about alleged gang affiliation, threatens to kill someone, and beats a man in broad daylight鈥攁cross the street from a police station鈥攊t鈥檚 not just a failure of policing. It鈥檚 a cultural rot. These kids didn鈥檛 just think they鈥檇 get away with the alleged crime鈥攖hey likely knew they would.
This is what happens when progressive policies teach teens that consequences are optional and accountability is 鈥渙ppression.鈥 That鈥檚 not merely ignorance. That鈥檚 conditioning.
