PORTLAND, Oregon — A man was arrested for stabbing another man near the scene of the Federal Courthouse protest at about 2:30 a.m. Saturday.
Blake D. Hampe, 43, was charged with Assault II and booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center. He will be arraigned in court Monday.
After being called to the scene, at Southwest 5th Avenue and Salmon Street, Portland Police Bureau officers found Hampe held down by several bystanders and one male victim with a stab wound.
The victim was transported to an area hospital with a serious injury.
A Black conservative videographer named Drew Duncomb identified himself in a series of Twitter posts as the victim. He was released from the hospital today, he said.
While investigating the stabbing, Portland police gave public address announcements to people in the crowd ordering them to stay back while officers conducted their investigation.
"Police attempted to create a crime scene but were unable to due to the aggressive crowd behavior and lack of community cooperation," Portland Police said in a news release.
