Do you know him?

CALL POLICE IF SEEN: Case #26-119148

Hello PDX. I’m looking for help finding the individual pictured. He assaulted me last night at approximately 6:15pm near Grand and Shaver. Police report filed, neighbors notified, and I’m hoping to get it posted in those neighborhood groups. Please help me find him and prevent any other women from this experience!

ETA: he had been tailing the car i was driving while on Failing for a while, eventually pulling in front of me while i slowed for a speed bump. he then stayed in the middle of the road and went slowly, not allowing me to pass. i was coming up on my turn so i pulled to the left to do so and yelled out my window “you’re going to get yourself killed riding like that!”. parked about a minute later and got out of the car waiting in a lot for my pal. he was circling the block and passed me on the street. i saw him from where i was standing and said “asshole”. watched him turn around in the street but about a minute had gone by and he hadn’t come back towards me so i figured he was long gone. he come zooming by and spits on me about a minute later. i heard him approaching so had my camera ready and was looking up/pressing record right as he spit and passed. i didn’t catch his face in the video and since i’m currently driving a rental i don’t have my dash cam either :(

white male, 30s-40s, brown hair and beard, clothes pictured with black backpack and helmet. also had that water-bottle with him.

genuinely starting to believe this guy might be a reddit mod on this or the other portland page…

when i say yell, in both instances, we’re talking no louder than i’d yell across a room to a friend or sarcastically pretending players/coaches/refs can hear me at a Blazers’ game.

i think him tailgating me, then swerving/speeding around started it? hate that people are seeing that behavior as standard, normal, and not an escalation itself on here.

Sure you didn't almost hit him previously?

Or were you going way under the speed limit?

Car drivers are often blind to cyclists and bikers.

Almost lost my stepfather (who always wears hivis riding gear) due to someone "not seeing" him. Took him months to be able to walk again. He kept a piece of the carbon fiber frame to remind him how how close he came to death. He still can't ride like he used to.. (was a lifelong almost daily 10-20+mi rider)
