- After the attack, an officer shot Bangura, who is currently in serious condition in the ICU.
BELLEVUE, WASHINGTON — Body-worn camera video from Dec. 12, 2025 shows the moments prosecutors say Mohamed Morray Bangura pulled a knife and attacked officers at the Bellevue Transit Center after allegedly placing a fake 911 call to draw police to the location.
Bodycam Captures Sudden Knife Attack
In the video, officers speak with Bangura before he motions to the side, pulls a knife from his jacket pocket, and lunges. One officer steps back, but a second officer moves in and is slashed in the face and stabbed, according to charging documents.
Prosecutors Allege Fake 911 Call Was the Setup
Investigators allege Bangura called 911 just after noon on Dec. 12 and described a bogus situation while asking dispatch to send “an officer or two” to the transit center. When officers arrived, they spoke with a man later identified as Bangura, who acknowledged making the call, documents say.
Officer Shot Bangura After Stabbing
After the stabbing, one officer fired and struck Bangura multiple times. Both the injured officer and Bangura were taken to Harborview Medical Center for treatment. The officer has since been released, while Bangura was reported to be in serious condition in the ICU as of Dec. 15, 2025.
Charges, Bail, and Next Court Date
Bangura has been charged with first-degree assault and second-degree assault. He remains in jail on $5 million bail, and his next court appearance is scheduled for Feb. 23, 2026.
Prior Contacts Also Noted in Court Papers
Charging documents also reference earlier interactions between Bangura and Bellevue police, including a September 2025 incident in which he allegedly threatened a security guard during a dispute on church property, and a call he made earlier in December to complain about an officer.
