A biologically male suspect who identifies as transgender was taken into custody Friday night in downtown Portland after a string of alleged assaults involving multiple victims, including a child and at least two adults, according to the Portland Police Bureau.
The suspect was reportedly involved in a violent series of encounters that began shortly after 7:30 p.m. near Southwest Naito Parkway and Ankeny Street.

Officers responded after receiving reports of a stabbing, where a man had been slashed on the hand with a knife.
That victim walked to the Portland Police Bureau’s Central Precinct and was later transported to a hospital for treatment.

Following that report, officers received a second call near Southwest Ankeny Street and 2nd Avenue, where a suspect was allegedly threatening people with a stick.
Police confirmed that the same individual was responsible for both incidents.
According to witness accounts cited by KATU and The Post Millennial, the suspect was reportedly drinking at a nearby bar before the series of attacks.
Witness Jenniffer Dieringer, who said she knew the suspect personally, told reporters that the individual had stated, “I’m going to go to prison for killing somebody,” before leaving the bar and allegedly initiating a physical assault on a man walking by.
During the confrontation, a passing truck stopped at the scene.
A passenger exited the vehicle to check on the situation and was then allegedly punched in the face and struck with a staff by the suspect, according to Dieringer.
Police intervened at that point and used a stun device twice to subdue the suspect.
The Portland Police Bureau confirmed that the individual was “so violent they had to be sedated” before being transported to a local hospital. The full extent of injuries to all involved has not yet been disclosed.
Local media reports initially referred to the suspect as a “woman,” although law enforcement officials have confirmed that the individual is a biological male who identifies as transgender.
The Post Millennial’s Andy Ngo has identified the suspect as a ‘transgender Antifa member (“Trantifa”) named Trever Eugene Osterhout, who has a history of alleged domestic violence.’
