"MAX Stabbing Suspect Faces Charges of Bias Crime, Robbery, and Assault"
Adrian Cummins, the suspect accused of stabbing two teenagers on a MAX train in Portland's Lents neighborhood, is now facing charges of bias crime, assault, and robbery. The investigation revealed that Cummins caused physical injury to the victims due to his perception of their race. A witness described the crime as racially motivated, with the suspect being white and the victims being black. Cummins is also believed to have robbed a convenience store at knifepoint on the same evening. The Portland Police Bureau encourages victims of bias-motivated crimes to come forward and states that bias crimes are defined as criminal acts targeting victims based on the suspect's perception of their race, color, religion, sexual orientation, disability, gender identity, or national origin.
