Police: Man attacked, robbed by panhandler in downtown Fremont

“What’s up, Popeye? You look crazy.”
Those were the last words a man in Fremont heard before he was repeatedly punched in the face and had his phone stolen by a man pushing a shopping cart Sunday in downtown Fremont, according to the Seattle Police Department.
The situation started shortly before 5:45 p.m. when the man with the shopping cart approached a group waiting for the bust near North 34th Street and Fremont Avenue North and started asking for men, according to witnesses.
One of the people waiting for the bus told officers the man became angry when no one would give him money and started smashing his shopping cart into a wall and yelling, “This is you,” and that he was going to kill them.
The woman told officers she didn’t think the man was directly threatening her but was just drunk, high and crazy.
According to a man who would become the victim, the man with the shopping cart walked toward him and yelled, “What’s up, Popeye? You look crazy.”
