Women Band Together Against Attacker | Portland News
Description
In a harrowing April 9th attack at Council Crest Park, a man allegedly assaulted multiple women—including an attempted strangulation—before they banded together to fight back and fend off the attacker. Despite a 911 call at 2:13 PM, police didn’t arrive until 2:44 PM, fueling victims’ frustration. The suspect, Ayman Elkholy, pleaded guilty to harassment and attempted strangulation, receiving 24 months probation and 80 hours of treatment—something victims fear is too lenient. Yet, in the aftermath, the women found unexpected strength and solidarity, proving that strangers can rise together in the face of danger.
