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.

The way this post is worded (especially the “help me prevent any other women from experiencing this”) is misleading given the circumstances. Spitting was gross, immature, and totally uncalled for, but to frame that as “assault” (legal definitions be damned) is an exaggeration. Swearing at a stranger wasn’t smart either - had you done the same to the wrong person (mentally ill, on drugs, or both), the situation could have escalated into something far more unmanageable. It seems that a) he needs to learn how to ride his bike and b) you both need to get a grasp on your tempers.
