A 21-year-old Edmonds man was booked into the Snohomish County Jail late Wednesday night after allegedly hitting his 48-year-old roommate in the head with a baseball bat, Edmonds police said.

The victim in the attack, which occurred in Edmonds’ Five Corners neighborhood, was discharged from Harborview Medical Center around midnight Wednesday after being evaluated and treated for head injuries, said Edmonds police spokesman Sgt. Josh McClure. The victim was able to speak with police detectives, McClure added.

Officers and medics initially responded to a residence in the 21200 block of 80th Avenue West around 4:40 p.m. after a 911 call from a female at the residence. The caller stated that someone had been struck with a baseball bat. Officers arrived and did locate a subject with head injuries. He was transported to Harborview while officers remained at the scene and interviewed a male and female.

Detectives responded shortly after the incident unfolded and worked into the night, securing a search warrant for the residence. Evidence was recovered from the home and the investigation led to the arrest and booking of the 21-year-old suspect. A bat was recovered from the scene.

The investigation revealed that the suspect and the victim were roommates, making this a domestic violence incident as well under state law, McClure said. Victims or involved parties in felony domestic violence situations are contacted and offered resources from DV Services of Snohomish County; the police department also has a domestic violence coordinator who assists in misdemeanor cases.
