Two men were killed in a stabbing on a MAX train Friday when they tried to intervene as another man yelled racial slurs at two young women who appeared to be Muslim, including one wearing a hijab, police said.

A third passenger who tried to help was also stabbed, but is expected to survive, said Portland police spokesman Sgt. Pete Simpson.

Officers arrested the suspect as he ran from the Hollywood transit station into the neighborhood near Providence Portland Medical Center in Northeast Portland, Simpson said. Police are still working to identify him and the three men stabbed.

The suspect was ranting about many things, using "hate speech or biased language," and at one point focused on the young women, Simpson said.

The suspect then turned on the passengers who tried to help, Simpson said.

"In the midst of his ranting and raving, some people approached him and appeared to try to intervene with his behavior and some of the people that he was yelling at," Simpson said. "They were attacked viciously."

One good Samaritan died at the scene and another at the hospital, he said. The third victim was undergoing evaluation, but didn't suffer life-threatening wounds, he said.

"These were folks just riding the train and unfortunately got caught up in this," he said.

It's not clear why the man was yelling, Simpson said.

"He was talking about a lot of different things, not just specifically anti-Muslim," Simpson said.

"We don't know if he's got mental health issues," Simpson said. "We don't know if he's under the influence of drugs or alcohol or all of the above."

The FBI said Friday night that the federal agency "will certainly be looking at the facts and evidence as the investigation unfolds to determine whether there is any potential federal violation."

"At the core of the FBI's mission is the belief that every person has the right to live, work and worship in this country without fear," the agency said in a statement. "Hate and bigotry have no place in our community, and we will not allow violence in the name of hate to go unanswered."

Evelin Hernandez, a 38-year-old Clackamas resident, said she was on the train when the man began making racist remarks to the young women. Some.men tried to quiet him, she said, and he stabbed them.

The attack occurred about 4:30 p.m. on a MAX Green Line train as it was heading east. A train remained stopped on the tracks at the Hollywood/N.E. 42nd Avenue Transit Center as police investigated.

Simpson said police want to talk to the young women and other witnesses to the rampage. They understandably left the scene, but can help fill in what happened, he said.

"It's horrific," he said. "There's no other word to describe what happened today. For the victims, our thoughts and prayers are with their families. ... For the witnesses, there is no other word."

Portland Muslim community reacts to fatal stabbing

Friday marks the start of Ramadan, a monthlong fast observed by most of the world's 1.6 billion Muslims.

"Our thoughts are with the Muslim community," Simpson said. "As something like this happens, this only instills fear in that community. We have already reached out previous to this incident to our Muslim community partners and the different imams about extra patrol during Ramadan. We want to reassure them that that will continue."

Portland is home to a rough estimate of about 50,000 Muslims of different ethnicities.

"This appears at least to be an isolated incident based on what we know at this point," Simpson said.

Officers tried to save the man who died on the train, he said. Police have recovered the knife, he said.

Simpson thanked witnesses who called 911 and reported where the suspect went and what he was wearing.

"It was really critical to us taking this man into custody. (He was) obviously very dangerous based on his actions," he said.

TriMet said the Blue, Green and Red MAX lines were disrupted and that the transit center was closed. Buses were running between Northeast Seventh Avenue and Southeast Main Street, according to the agency.

The Oregonian/OregonLive

The fatal stabbing of two men in Northeast Portland by a man shouting racial slurs Friday evening was met with sorrow by the Muslim community, marring what's usually a celebratory time: the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan.

The suspect was yelling "hate speech or biased language" at two young women, spokesman Sgt. Pete Simpson said. One of the women was wearing a hijab.

Three men tried to intervene and were stabbed, two of whom died from their wounds. The third is expected to survive.

The suspect has not been named.

Harris Zafar, author of "Demystifying Islam: Tackling the Tough Questions" and frequent commentator on CNN and Fox News, told The Oregonian/OregonLive Friday night that he found the event "tragic and concerning." He has lived in Portland for 31 years.

"As a Muslim, it's unnerving to know — being a father, being a husband, being a son — that this could have been one of the many women in our mosque and the greater Portland area," he said.

Still, Zafar said he was inspired by the men who "had nothing to gain by putting themselves in harm's way."

"Of course, that's immediately replaced by an intense emotion of sadness that they've lost their lives," he said. "My heart goes out to the families of those individuals, who are also now lost in grief."

As news of the stabbing spread across the country, the Center on American-Islamic Relations issued a statement calling on President Trump denounce bigotry targeting Muslims and other minority groups.

"President Trump must speak out personally against the rising tide of Islamophobia and other forms of bigotry and racism in our nation that he has provoked through his numerous statements, policies and appointments that have negatively impacted minority communities," said Nihad Awad, the center's national executive director.

Zafar echoed the sentiment.

"I don't blame Donald Trump —I don't think he's a white supremacist," the author said.

But Zafar added that he believes the president's words on the campaign trail in 2016 policies such as his proposal to ban immigration and travel from six majority Muslim nations has nevertheless empowered those with fringe views.

"Clearly it's been festering and brewing," Zafar said. "And now with the election of President Trump those voices have felt some level of legitimacy."

The biggest problem, the author said, is that too few Americans personally know somebody of Islamic faith. Zafar pointed to a 2014 Pew Research study that found only 38 percent of U.S. residents know a Muslim.

"It's really hard to believe in that rhetoric and harbor ill will if they know someone in that demographic," he said. "If someone knew a Muslim, I don't think they would believe that rhetoric so easily."

Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler boarded the inaugural direct flight from Portland International Airport to London before the attack. A spokesman said Wheeler is in communication with police.

City Commissioner Chloe Eudaly issued a statement on behalf of the city, acting in the mayor's stead.

"The City of Portland has a heavy heart right now, and our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends of the deceased and injured," she said. "This is an especially sad and disturbing incident. People lost their lives or were injured because they stood up to hate."

Eudaly thanked witnesses who helped police track down the suspect. She also asked Portlanders to offer their support
to the two women and anyone else who may have been targeted.

"The courage of the people who stood up for them is a reminder that we as a city need to stand together to denounce hate," she said.

Suspect in Portland Hate Crime Murders is a Known White Supremacist

by Doug Brown May 27, 2017 at 5:33 am

Jeremy Christian, now accused of hate crime murders, at the right-wing "March for Free Speech" on April 29 DOUG BROWN

The man accused of the brutal hate crime slayings of two people at the Hollywood Transit Center on Friday afternoon is a known local white supremacist.

Jeremy Christian's mug shot

Jeremy Christian, 35, was booked early Saturday morning on two aggravated murder charges, an attempted murder charge, two intimidation (hate crime) charges, and a felon in possession of a restricted weapon charge.

The Portland Police Bureau (PPB) reported that the man "was on the MAX train yelling various remarks that would be best characterized as hate speech toward a variety of ethnicities and religions. At least two of the victims attempted to intervene with the suspect and calm him down. The suspect attacked the men, stabbing three, before leaving the train."

Witnesses told the police that he was harassing two women who appear to be Muslim. One was described as wearing a hijab. One of the men he stabbed died at the scene, one was pronounced dead at a hospital, and one is expected to survive.

Christian is a known right wing extremist and white supremacist. On April 29, Christian showed up to the right-wing "March for Free Speech" on 82nd Avenue in Montavilla with a baseball bat in an attempt to assault left-wing protesters. The bat was quickly confiscated by Portland police officers. He ranted how he was a nihilist. He'd soon yelled racial slurs ("fuck all you n*****s") and gave the Nazi salute throughout the day. He yelled "Hail Vinland" throughout the day.

A few Portland police officers on April 29 appeared to be familiar with Christian, but not threatened by him. They claimed he had a head injury and was mentally ill.

Here's my video of Christian, draped in a flag, arriving at the event.

Here's another video. At the 25-second mark, he yells "fuck all you n*****s". The right-wing rally organizers refused to let him in.

Shortly later, I asked him his name. I recognized the name and remembered the he posted on Facebook that he'd shoot police officers if they tried to disarm him (he was never arrested).

He later gave the Nazi salute.ll

Update: Christian has a criminal record that includes a host of felonies going back to 2002, when he was convicted of first-degree robbery and second-degree kidnapping. He also has a conviction for carrying/using a dangerous weapon from 2002.

His Facebook page is replete with anti-Semitic comments and other evidence of his views. Here are some examples.

Mayor Ted Wheeler, who was flying from London to Portland when the crime occurred, issued his first statement this morning:

"There is too much hatred in our world right now, and far too much violence. Too much of it has arrived here in Portland," Wheeler said in a press release. "My heart goes out to the families of those who lost their lives, and to those who witnessed what happened. Thank you to our first responders, who provided aid, and police who captured the suspected killer. Now is the time, we must come together as a community and love one another. We must reject hatred and violence. We must seek justice."

Oh what mainstream denomination was Jeremy Christian (yes his surname is ironic), a member of, and does it and its members condone murdering people or even threatening and harassing people?

I've always condemned Red necks, I see nothing about radical Christian terrorism in these articles, why do you lie?

I also noticed you tried to make the murder of children and civilians in Manchester about Trump, instead of Muslim terrorists, that's sick.

That's your definition? If a Muslim does it, according to you, that's terrorism, but if a non Muslim does the exact same, according to you, that's not?

Christianity is part of the far right ideology. KKK people do claim to be Christian along with dominionists and anti-government groups. Some Neo-Nazi's worship Thor. Though we don't know this guy's religious beliefs, he probably wasn't an Athiest.

There is no doubt that the alt right racists are some of the most violent criminals. The KKK are not Christian, but like terrorist groups such as ISIS, they have hijacked the religion to promote their own acts of violence, and terrorism. The KKK have taken the law into their own hands and committed some brutal murders on innocent citizens along racial lines.

This idiot was a known yes known White supremacist who may have voted Sanders or may have not voted for Sanders. He was part of the White racist rallies that tended to end up in violence against the anti-Trump rallies in the USA. Look at the history of his tweets. Hardly, anything to do with Bernie Sanders and his messages. The fake news put out by the alt right nutcases when there is a shred of a rumour of an allegation against the Democrats or Liberals is hilarious. Not in this case as it is outrageous to associate him with anything to do with what Sanders stood for. His values are closer to that of Trump's hypocritical nonsense. Care to comment about the link below with real proof?

By the way Bernie Sanders was not a candidate in the final Presidential election, so he voted probably for Trump.

I think he was a mentally deranged man who didn't know what the fuck he was talking about and was obviously unhinged. He was a danger to society not due to his views but due to obvious mental illness, paranoia. His actions can't be considered deliberate but out of his control. He needs to be put away but he due to this. Not because, despite your wishes, his political views.

So, you can agree with this assessment or live with the fact he was in fact anti trump because he protested against him. And apparently supported Bernie.

Take you pick. But at this point you have nothing to make him a part of the Alt right as you are obsessed with and label anyone who disagrees with you.

He was a KKK type racist who had no Bernie Sanders values of any sort. Tell us what he had in common with Sanders?
You buy the alt right nonsensical argument that he was at a Trump rally and was kicked out for trying to disrupt it. What was he actually saying that was disruptive to the rally, when in fact he was at the neo-nazi so called "free speech" rally, giving the nazi salute. Proof is in the link that I shared. You are saying that this is false?
Show us real proof that he had anything in common with Bernie Sanders.
