SEATTLE (AP) — The King County sheriff’s office says a 55-year-old Shoreline man has not regained consciousness since he apparently was assaulted while stopping a car thief.

The man was found outside his apartment at 3 a.m. Friday wearing only a slipper and bleeding from several injuries.

He was unable to tell officers what happened, but they found his 1995 Jeep Cherokee nearby with the door lock punched and ignition damaged.

Detectives speculate the man interrupted an attempt to steal his car and may have been run over.
