Viral video shows man beaten, robbed in Seattle | Gee and Ursula
A disturbing video posted on Reddit of a man getting knocked out and robbed by a small group of people in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood Sunday has gone viral.
In the video shot at Cal Anderson Park, one man is taken down to the ground in a chokehold. Moments later, you see a group of people surround him and start attacking the man performing the chokehold. They start kicking and punching him in the head until he is knocked out cold.
What started the fight remains somewhat of a mystery. According to comments online, the fight stemmed from a woman’s dog being off leash and trying to eat people’s food.
The Seattle Fire Department sent the following response to KIRO 7 about the incident:
That response came at the request of Seattle Police for an incident that matches your description. However, the patient declined medical care as our crews arrived on scene.
Gee and Ursula respond to the viral video on KIRO Newsradio
“This large crowd is watching as men and women are kicking, punching, and swearing at each other,” Ursula Reutin, co-host of “The Gee and Ursula Show,” said on KIRO Newsradio. “Witnesses say the brawl was sparked by the husky trying to steal some food.”
People have said that dogs being off their leashes at Cal Anderson Park are a big problem.

“There aren’t a lot of options in Capitol Hill to take your dogs,” Ursula continued. “They question whether there’s actually too much park space for kids and not enough for our four-legged friends.”
“Gee and Ursula” co-host Gee Scott said he was actually upset that Ursula and show producer Andrew Lanier wanted him to watch the viral video.
“I hate watching fight videos,” Gee said. “One brother in the fight is probably in his 50s. He’s too old to fight. He can’t fight. He’s swinging all over the place.”
Gee called out one of the people involved in the incident, which saw a person bombarded by punches and knocked out at the end of the three-minute video.
“You got about eight people kicking one person on the ground. And then, at the very end, one dude takes some money out of his pocket.,” Gee continued.

He explained that he wanted to use the fight as a teaching moment.
“A rule that my father used to tell me is never to stand around and watch a fight,” Gee explained. “There are a bunch of people standing around watching this fight, and that is dangerous. Don’t do that.”
Ursula responded by saying the was another option besides a brawl.
“How about just explaining, ‘Hey, your dog ate my food? Could you please get your dog on a leash?,’” she asked.
Ursula added that there aren’t enough dog parks in Seattle, especially on Capitol Hill.
“I am not taking that excuse,” Gee responded. “There was one dog in the video. And there were all these people. And I bet you some of them folks had a little alcohol in their system.”

Thanks to Carrie Brown for the westward view of our Saturday night sunset. The high today hit 68 at the airport – eight degrees above normal – but nowhere near the record for this date, which was 89 degrees back in 2016. The forecast suggests two more days of partly sunny, almost-70-degree weather, before the chance of rain returns.
CHICAGO (AP) — The struggling New York Mets placed former Seattle Mariners second baseman/designated hitter Jorge Polanco on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with a right wrist contusion.
Mariners Injury Update: Latest on Robles, Vargas and more
The move was made retroactive to Wednesday, a day after Polanco went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts in a 2-1 loss at the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 32-year-old Polanco is batting .179 (10 for 56) with a homer and two RBIs in his first season with New York, which has lost nine straight.
“When doctors first took a look at him, it looked like he got hit by a pitch when he didn’t,” manager Carlos Mendoza said. “In talking to him, it was just a couple of swings that he took that night. … He didn’t think much of it, but just got worse the following day.
“So you just got to let it calm down a little bit and then we’ll go from there. But we don’t have a timetable for how long this is going to last.”
Polanco, who signed a two-year, $40 million contract with the Mets in December, also has been dealing with an ankle issue.
“He was trending in the right direction,” Mendoza said of the ankle injury. “It’s definitely going to help, obviously now with him being shut down. But the biggest thing now is that we’ve got to take care of that wrist.”
Polanco spent the previous two seasons with the Mariners, who acquired him in a February 2024 trade with the Minnesota Twins.
Polanco struggled during his first season with Seattle in 2024, hitting just .213 with 16 homers in 118 games while playing through a knee injury that didn’t become public knowledge until after the season.
But after the Mariners somewhat surprisingly brought him back for a one-year contract in 2025, Polanco rebounded to hit .265 with 26 homers and an .821 OPS in 138 games last season. He then added three homers during Seattle’s playoff run, along with a 15th-inning walkoff single in Game 5 of the American League Division Series that sent the Mariners to their first ALCS in 24 years.

SEATTLE – Brandon Nimmo hit a leadoff home run, Jacob deGrom threw four shutout innings and Gavin Collyer earned his first career win as the Texas Rangers beat the Seattle Mariners 5-0 on Friday night.
Seattle lost its fourth straight game, and was shut out for the fourth time in 21 games, falling to 8-13. The Mariners were shut out six times during the 2025 season. Texas won its third straight game.
Nimmo led off the game with a 372-foot shot to right field off Mariners starter Logan Gilbert (1-3). It was Nimmo’s 16th career leadoff homer and second of the season. He also hit a leadoff home run on April 11 in a 6-3 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
DeGrom effectively maneuvered through Seattle’s lineup, and worked out of a one out, bases-loaded jam in the first inning. The two-time Cy Young Award winner recorded two of his three strikeouts after walking Josh Naylor to load the bases. Randy Arozarena fanned on a curveball, and Luke Raley swung through a fastball.
Texas added to its lead after Nimmo’s homer. Wyatt Langford’s single to left scored Corey Seager, who led off the third inning with a double. The Rangers stretched the lead to 3-0 on an RBI single from Jake Burger in the seventh.
The Mariners’ best scoring chance came in the sixth after Collyer (1-0), who worked 1 1/3 scoreless innings, left the game.
J.P. Crawford singled to left off Tyler Alexander with two out, and Mariners third base coach Carlos Cardoza sent Naylor from second base, but he was thrown out by Langford.
Texas added two more runs in the ninth on a sacrifice fly by Andrew McCutchen and an RBI double by Josh Jung.
Seattle third baseman Brendan Donovan left the game early due to a left hip issue.
Mariners right-hander Bryce Miller, who started the year on the injured list with a left oblique injury, was at T-Mobile Park for the first time this season. He will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.
Up next
Mariners RHP George Kirby (2-2, 3.25) will face Rangers righty Nathan Eovaldi (2-2, 5.40) on Saturday afternoon.
