A 33-year-old man suffered serious injuries during a stabbing that occurred Tuesday morning in a marshy, wooded area of Tigard, police say. The incident prompted a large search for a suspect, but the effort came up empty.
Officers responded around 7:15 a.m. to Southwest Cascade Avenue, a frontage road south of Scholls Ferry Road running along Oregon 217, according to a police spokesperson. Canine officers and drone operators searched the nearby rail line behind the industrial area, carefully examining several encampments, debris, and a small creek.
Investigators briefly detained one man during the search but later released him.
“Detectives are working to gather more information related to the identity of the suspect in this case,” said Tigard police spokesperson Kelsey Anderson.
As of now, officers have not determined a motive for the stabbing.
The victim, who has not been identified by police, was taken by ambulance to a local hospital.
Police are asking anyone with information to call 503-718-COPS or email [email protected].
