Armed Suspect Escapes Police Chase | Portland News

In Northwest Portland, a high-stakes chase unfolded when officers pursued a wanted suspect armed with a hunting knife who was running toward civilians—including a mother and child. After the suspect crashed through a tire shop and took refuge in a basement, he escalated chaos by destroying police drones and robots, even attacking a K-9 unit with a pipe. Officers stayed on scene for over two hours before the 33-year-old, Joshua Kuras, surrendered. He’s now booked and being investigated for unlawful weapon use, while the police are reviewing whether the lieutenant’s use of his patrol car constituted justified deadly force.
