Malik Muhammed is accused of repeatedly trying to kill officers during protests last summer.
An Indiana man was indicted on allegations that he attempted to murder two police officers during separate riots in Portland last year by using explosive devices.
Malik Muhammed, 24, was arrested on multiple warrants Friday, April 2, and remains in an Indianapolis jail. He will be extradited to Oregon, where he will face multiple felonies as part of a 28-count indictment, according to the Multnomah County District Attorney s Office.
According to the indictment, prosecutors claim Muhammed came to Portland in September 2020 for the specific purpose of engaging in multiple criminal acts. On Sept. 5, he engaged in tumultuous and violent conduct near the Portland Police Bureau s East Precinct that resulted in a grave risk of causing public alarm, the indictment said.
