Spokane police capture man during violent kidnap attempt
SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) - Police say a man attempted to kidnap a woman walking near Gonzaga University Tuesday night, chased her into a bar where she sought refuge and then threatened to kill patrons.
Two officers arrived at Geno's Bar and saw the man holding a patron around the neck. The officers subdued the suspect with the help of a police dog.
The 24-year-old Spokane man was treated for dog bites and jailed for investigation of attempted kidnapping and felony harassment.

You mean LE didn't shoot the guy to death? Wow, is that possible? To apprehend a violent, but unarmed, person without actually ending their life? hrmm, you don't say!
Good work, LEOs and K-9..! Â Â Hope the woman is OK...Â
Â
Also hope the dog doesn't catch anything after biting that guy... Â Â
No discription of the perp... Hes black.
This could've turned out so much worse. I'm glad the suspect was apprehended. I hope the woman was not harmed.
The AP style book needs a serious revamping.  When opening paragraphs render the following: "Police say a man attempted to kidnap a woman walking near Gonzaga University Tuesday night, chased her into a bar where she sought refuge and then threatened to kill patron" -- so did SHE threaten to kill patrons or did HE threaten to kill patrons?  I've seen the most bastardized sentences (not so much in terms of grammar, but definitely in MEANING or INTENT) written in the form of AP headlines and opening paragraphs.  Why stick with a failing formula/idiom?
 @ThePosterFormerlyKnownAsPhredE Clearly you have some work to do on your grammar. The subject of the sentence is "man," and the "woman" is the object of the verb "kidnap." This is a compound sentence, but the SUBJECT stays the same: it is the "man," and all verbs are related to it.
Similarly, why not just name the suspect as well?
