VIDEO: Surveillance video captured vicious assault during a fire at a homeless camp in Ballard.
The video shows flames suddenly erupting inside a tent, drawing out several campers and sending one rolling into the road.
A minute later, that man is back on his feet. Then, as two other campers fight the flames, he suddenly attacks the woman with them.
Video shows him shove the woman to the ground, onto the burning tent. He chokes and shakes her.
Encampments are common in Ballard. Earlier this month, we told you about another fire at a camp behind a vacant building on NW Market Street. Video shows a camper accosting the firefighters trying to put out the flames.
