A stabbing Tuesday night in downtown Olympia may have been racially motivated, according to the Olympia Police Department.

Daniel B. Rowe, 32, was arrested near the intersection of Fourth Avenue and Adams Street and booked into the Thurston County jail on suspicion of second-degree assault with a deadly weapon. Judge James Dixon found probable cause for three charges Wednesday afternoon: two counts of second-degree assault with a deadly weapon and one count of malicious harassment. He set bail at $500,000.

The male stabbing victim, a 47-year-old man, sustained only non-life threatening injuries, according to police. A 35-year-old female victim was grazed by the suspect’s knife.

Upon his arrest, Rowe allegedly told police that he had gone downtown after hearing about anti-police graffiti that had been put up Sunday night, according to court documents. He reportedly told police that if he were let go, he would head to a Donald Trump rally and stomp out more of the Black Lives Matter group.
