Shocking moment when Portland homeless man vandalizes car – victim slams cops for doing NOTHING

A Portland drug counselor revealed the shocking moment when a crazed homeless man attacked his car and smashed his windows with a rock before tormenting bystanders.

Kevin Dahlgren became the latest victim of the city of Oregon’s rampant homeless epidemic when he criticized the subway for doing “terrible work” to protect its citizens.

“I thought he’d make it in my car,” said counsel Fox news. “It was terrifying.”

The attack came days after Portland officials, who had previously suspended their police force, announced a new wave of task forces in a desperate bid to curb the city’s rampant shop and motorcycle thefts.

Dahlgren revealed that the terrifying attack happened when he went to investigate a report of a homeless person “acting crazy” in the area.

He soon came face to face with the growling assailant, who began beating between them and throwing rocks at the car window.

A photo taken after the terrifying encounter showed that the wild frenzy also resulted in his windshield being shattered by a rock.

Despite the unnamed attacker also reportedly smashing a window of a nearby restaurant, throwing rocks at other passing cars and bursting into a bus, Dahlgren said police refused to pursue the crazed attacker.

“He ran at me at full speed, almost smashed my driver’s side window,” the drug counselor added.

Dahlgren denounced the police response to the terrifying collision, saying, “They kept asking, ‘Is he a danger to himself or others?’ and I was like “Yeah I’d say he’s a danger to others!”

“I saw him smash a window, I saw him harass other people, I saw him throw rocks at cars.”

Dahlgren said he initially called a mental health outreach team to report the attack, but said: “They just wouldn’t come, so I eventually gave up and called the police… unfortunately the police said they couldn’t would pursue.

“I think in my mind, what does it take to help someone like that? Who should help this person if not the people we pay to help? It was really frustrating.’

Dahlgren previously called the city “an open-air psychiatric ward,” adding that his recent attack reiterated his belief that it is “dangerous for everyone now.”

“There are also the mentally ill who are vulnerable and become victims every day. Oregon ranks last in the prevalence of mental illness, and 43rd in the United States for their needs not being met.

“We’re doing a really terrible job with mental health services in this state.”

The Portland Police Department has contacted DailyMail.com for comment.

The attack came days after reports indicated Portland officials plan to launch a series of task forces to deal with the city’s out-of-control crime spree.

Two new task forces specifically designed to tackle auto and shoplifting are being prepared by Multnomah County DA Mike Schmidt and Democrat Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, who have previously been criticized for the city’s crime epidemic.

Portland has one of the worst crime rates in America, with more than 63,000 property thefts in the city in the past year, according to official police statistics.

With rampant crime taking over the city, numerous businesses have already begun to flee the area amid a soft-on-crime crackdown by Portland officials.

Since the pandemic, public records showed that more than 2,600 businesses have filed address changes with the US Postal Service after leaving their zip codes in downtown Portland.

Major companies, including Nike and Walmart, cite a spike in shoplifting and property theft as one of the reasons for closing locations in the area.
