Emergency responders transported the injured rider to a local hospital. According to a report by KGW-TV, the man’s injuries included trauma caused by his motorcycle’s gear shift piercing through his steel-toed boot.

He has since been released from the hospital. His sister told reporters that while he is in stable condition, the incident was traumatic for the family.

After receiving a tip from the public, police identified the driver as 35-year-old Samir Pazzoto-Filho. He was taken into custody and is now facing several charges, including second-degree assault, unlawful use of a weapon, and failure to perform duties of a driver to injured persons.

The Beaverton Police Department confirmed the arrest in a statement and emphasized that the investigation remains ongoing. Authorities praised witnesses who stopped to render aid and those who provided information that led to the suspect’s arrest.
