Woman hit in the head by drone at Seattle pride parade

Police in Seattle are looking for the operator of a drone that hit a woman in the head at the Seattle pride parade Sunday, knocking her out.

The two-pound drone hit the 25-year-old woman as she watched the parade, ABC News reports, causing her to collapse. She was caught by her boyfriend before she hit the ground, and an off-duty firefighter treated her at the scene. The extent of her injuries are not known.

Police are looking to speak with a man in his 20s, unshaven, with a tattoo of a woman, who was wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses, and cut-off pants during the parade. The drone was 18 square inches and retails for about $1,200.
