YAKIMA, Wash. -- A man sought for attempted murder in a Sunnyside stabbing incident is in custody.

Yakima Police Lt. Mike Merryman said a police entry team from both jurisdictions arrested Manuel Angel Torres, 29, in a house in the 5200 block of Nob Hill Boulevard late Monday.

Merryman said officers and a Yakima Police K9 unit found Torres hiding under a bed.

The team entered the house about 10:30 p.m.

He said Sunnyside police had developed information that Torres was at the home.

Torres, of Sunnyside, was sought in connection with an assault of a 25-year-old woman at 16th Street and Yakima Valley Highway about 6 p.m. Sunday.

The woman was able to drive herself to Sunnyside Community Hospital.
