PORTLAND, Ore. ( KOIN ) — The Portland Police Bureau is searching for a suspect who allegedly assaulted a police officer during protests that happened on the Portland State University campus earlier this month .

Police said the assault happened on May 2 near Southwest Broadway Street and Southwest Harrison Street.

“The officer was addressing a confrontational protester when a second protester stepped forward, reached under the officer’s face shield, and sprayed her with pepper spray. The suspect then retreated and ran away,” PPB said.

Police released a photo of the man in the hopes of someone recognizing him. He is described as a white man with curly hair, probably in his 20s and wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt at the time the alleged assault happened.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Portland police.
