A 52-year-old man was stabbed behind the ear during an attempted robbery in north Seattle, police said. Paramedics took him to Harborview Medical Center, and the Seattle Fire Department said he was stable during transport.

A 911 caller reported at about 12:30 a.m. Monday that a friend had been stabbed near the Woodland Park picnic shelter, close to Aurora Avenue North. Officers and medics met the man at a nearby location, where he received treatment.

Police later located the crime scene. No one was arrested.
