King County Sheriff’s detectives have released a sketch of the suspect who assaulted a 16- year-old girl at her home near Lake Kathleen on Tuesday east of Renton.

The suspect, who is unknown to the girl, stabbed her in the stomach with an “exacto” knife as she was leaving a workshop in her house, according to the King County Sheriff’s Office.

She fought off the suspect, who fled. The assault occurred in the 14100 block of West Lake Kathleen Drive.
