The following information has been compiled based on City of Renton Police reports.
A 17-year-old Renton boy was stabbed on Nov. 18.
Police found the victim sitting on the curb outside of a convenience store in the 17600 block of 108th Avenue Southeast in Renton.

When officers asked him who stabbed him, the boy replied, “The devil.”
He was completely uncooperative and would not give any details regarding the incident or who stabbed him.
Police asked a pan-handler if he witnessed anything and he said that the boy approached him from the east and was already bleeding.
Renton Fire transported the boy to Valley Medical Center for treatment.
While checking the area, police were contacted by an anonymous person who claimed there was a fight on Southeast Carr Road.
The victim who was getting assaulted ran east and entered a silver car, the person said.
That car was parked in front of the officers and they went to investigate.
They found a passenger inside who appeared to have been in a fight. Officers were unsure if the incident was in retaliation for the previous fight.
Police contacted the victim in the hospital, but he was still unwilling to give a positive identification.
Wig-stealing thief attacks worker
A wig-stealing woman attacked a beauty store worker on Nov. 19.
The woman came into the Park Ave Beauty Supply store, 314 Park Ave. N., around 1 p.m. and placed a wig in her jacket.
When a store worker requested the merchandise back, the woman refused and began pushing and hitting the man.
This caused the 50-year-old man abrasions and scratches on his face.
A witness tried to help the store employee. They were able to get the wig back from the suspect, but she fled on foot, headed west on North Fourth Street.
The suspect is described as a black female, 23-24 years old, approximately 5-foot-3-inches tall, weighing 150 to 160 pounds. She was wearing a black puffy jacket over a red hooded sweatshirt, jeans and tennis shoes. She also had her hair in braids.
