Portland, OR. — A Multnomah County Grand Jury has indicted three men for the violent assault of a man who was apparently trying to get to work on October 16, 2025.
Rinson Tom, Greffy Tom, and Audrick Yesiki are each charged with Attempted Murder in the Second Degree, Assault in the First Degree, and other related crimes. The Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office has requested that all three remain in custody without bail as the judicial process continues.
According to an affidavit filed by prosecutors, the attack began when the suspects attempted to board a TriMet bus near SE Stark Street and SE 142nd Avenue. One of the men was smoking, and after being told by the driver that smoking was not allowed, a delay followed as the men argued.
A passenger on the bus shouted that he needed to get to work, which reportedly led to a confrontation. The man left his seat to urge the group to move along, but instead, the three men began punching him. The victim fell to the ground, and at least one suspect stomped on his face while others continued to kick and strike him.
The victim was later hospitalized with severe injuries, including a continuing brain bleed, an orbital fracture, and a broken nose.
District Attorney Nathan Vasquez condemned the attack, saying, “TriMet provides a vital service to our community and works hard to keep riders safe. This egregious behavior will not be tolerated, and this office will hold those responsible for it accountable.”
All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
