Cops: Masturbating man threatens woman with knife at bus stop Sex offender previously convicted of similar offenses

A 39-year-old man reportedly brandished a knife at a woman in White Center Sunday while masturbating at a Metro bus stop, according to felony charges filed this week.

Alan Raymond Bradley is a "high risk" sex offender who has been convicted for similar acts, according to the King County sex offender registry. He is now jailed on $150,000 bail.

The incident occurred about 1:15 p.m. Sunday afternoon, while a 53-year-old woman was waiting at a bus stop in the 9600 block of 15th Avenue Southwest in White Center.

King County Sheriff's Detective Jason Escobar wrote to the court that Bradley approached the woman, exposed his genitals and masturbated near her.

The woman claimed she asked him to stop, to which he responded by brandishing a steak knife, pointing it at the woman and told her to "shut up," Escobar said in court papers.

The woman left the immediate area and called 911.

Responding deputies could not immediately find the man, but about an hour later, a deputy found a man identified as Bradley standing against a wall at Southwest 102nd Street and 15th Avenue Southwest with his pants around his ankles, exposing himself to a busy intersection.

The deputy took him into custody. Investigators say the woman at the bus stop identified him in a photo montage.

Bradley was convicted of second-degree assault in 1999 after sexually assaulting a 51-year-old female acquaintance while armed with a knife, records show. He was also convicted of indecent exposure in December 2015 for exposing himself to passing cars and bar-goers.

He is now charged with indecent exposure and second-degree assault in King County Superior Court.
