Suspect asks Seattle cops to shoot him after SWAT team takedown frees hostage women from naked man

Seattle police rescued two women who were being held against their will by a knife-wielding, naked barricade suspect, according to authorities.

Fast-paced police bodycam video shows a Seattle police SWAT team battering down a barricaded door and arresting a knife-wielding, naked man who was accused of holding two women hostage in Queen Anne.

Hostage negotiators attempted to reason with the suspect – who allegedly made threats to harm both victims.

After two hours, the negotiations broke down, police said.

“This prompted SWAT to launch,” police explained.

Tactical officers smashed through a window and knocked down a door and tackled the suspect before he could hurt either hostage.

After they tackled him, he repeatedly said, “Shoot me . . . shoot me right now,” the newly released footage shows.

Afterward, officers attempted to reassure the victims – who appeared exhausted after the ordeal and thanked police for their help. Neither of the women suffered any injuries, according to authorities.

The July video appears to have been recorded inside a commercial or government office building.
