PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Police in Portland say a 52-year-old homeless man suffered a stab wound when he was attacked on one of the city’s bridges over the Willamette River.

Sgt. Pete Simpson says witnesses described a group of five male “street kids” as being involved in the Wednesday evening attack at the west end of the Hawthorne Bridge. They ran away.

The unidentified victim was taken to a hospital. Simpson said the wound was not life-threatening.
