A man is facing charges after allegedly setting an ambush for two police officers by summoning them to a transit center with a fake 911 call. New insights into the incident have been unveiled through documents accessed by Fox News Digital.

The violent encounter occurred at the Bellevue Transit Center in downtown Bellevue, Washington, shortly after noon on Friday. Bellevue is a city situated just to the east of Seattle.

The accused, 38-year-old Mohamed Morray Bangura, reportedly engaged in a brief conversation with the officers, feigning concern over a dispute he claimed to have witnessed and reported. This is according to the details provided in the charging documents.

In a dramatic turn of events, Bangura allegedly unzipped his jacket pocket and brandished a kitchen knife, launching a sudden attack on one of the officers with an ice-pick-style thrust. The scene was later cordoned off with police tape, and evidence photos from the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office and FOX 13/KCPQ show the knife purportedly used in this assault.

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.
