Firefighter assaulted along 15th in Ballard

Nearly two hours after yesterday’s terrible accident along 15th Ave in Interbay, firefighters responded to a separate call on 15th at 56th St. in Ballard. While they were treating a patient, a friend of the suspect who was apparently intoxicated punched a firefighter in the face, police say. The fire department quickly called for police backup, and the man was arrested for assault.
