Sting operation: Cops, carjack suspect attacked by swarm of wasps during bust

This is not your typical sting operation.

Seattle cops and a carjacking Suspect were attacked by a swarm of wasps when the insects’ hive was unwittingly disturbed during a bust, according to newly released body cam footage.

The painful incident unfolded when officers responded to a call about a series of attempted carjackings in the East Queen Anne neighborhood Aug. 13 involving a suspect using a knife to try and swipe vehicles as they passed by a tunnel.

Police quickly descended on a 22-year-old suspect, who then fled into a wooded area and ignored officers’ orders to surrender.

Video shows cops chasing and eventually catching the suspect — but as they wrestle him to the ground, everyone is quickly surrounded by the irate wasps, whose nest was right beside them.

“Ah! I’m getting stung, dude,” one of the officers can be heard saying.

Another cop yells, “It’s yellowjackets everywhere, dude!”

The insects can be seen covering the officers and suspect, stinging them repeatedly as the cops let out grunts of pain and try to hurry with accused carjacker out of the woods.

The officers can be heard telling the suspect, “It’s over” as they urge him to hurry up and escape the wasps.

The officers eventually carry the suspect out as they continue to be stung and offer him water when he’s finally handcuffed and inside a police vehicle.

The suspect was taken to the Harborview Medical Center for treatment, along with an officer who suffered a cut in his arm during the arrest.

The unidentified suspect was later booked at the King County Jail for assault, property destruction and attempted-robbery charges.

This isn’t the first time police have been caught on video stung by angry insects.

In May, a volunteer cop and Air Force veteran was stung up to 100 times by a swarm of bees when trying to evacuate a neighborhood under siege by the insects — after a construction worker inadvertently disturbed their massive nest in Los Angeles.
