Man who was assaulted near Oregon Convention Center MAX station dies from injuries
'The Multnomah County District Attorney's office is actively involved in this investigation and will consider any appropriate criminal charges,' officials said.
Officers responded to the Convention Center's TriMet MAX Station just before 6 a.m. on Thursday and say the area of NE Holladay Street between Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. and Second Avenue was blocked for several hours.
When officers responded, they found a man with serious, life-threatening injuries. He was transported to the hospital, and his current condition is unknown.
The suspect was identified as Jordan T. Christ, 30. He was booked in the Multnomah County Detention Center and charged with second-degree assault — though additional charges are expected.
'The investigation revealed that the assault was a punch to the victim's head and did not involve a weapon. Investigators have no reason to believe that the suspect and the victim knew each other,' police said.

Russian strike hits Ukrainian prison, killing at least 17
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — A Russian airstrike on a prison in Ukraine's southeastern Zaporizhzhia region killed at least 17 inmates and wounded more than 80 others, Ukrainian officials said Tuesday. The attack late Monday hit the Bilenkivska Correctional Colony with four guided aerial bombs, according to the State Criminal Executive Service of Ukraine. At least 42 inmates were hospitalized with serious injuries, while another 40 people, including one staff member, sustained various injuries. The strike destroyed the prison's dining hall, damaged administrative and quarantine buildings, but the perimeter fence held and no escapes were reported, authorities said. Ukrainian officials condemned the attack, saying that targeting civilian infrastructure, such as prisons, is a war crime under international conventions.
