Portland 'hero' had wedding ring stolen during train stabbing

2 June 2017 US & Canada

Police are searching for a man they suspect of stealing a bag and wedding ring from one the victims in the Portland train stabbing.

Army veteran Ricky Best, 53, was killed when he intervened to protect two young women from anti-Muslim abuse last week.

Portland Police have released an image of a man they say carried Mr Best's backpack from the scene.

Mr Best and fellow victim Taliesin Myrddin Namkai-Meche have been widely hailed as "heroes" for their actions.

Officers said the backpack contained "personal items important to the Best family".

No clue as to whether or not the stolen items have been located.

What a sad excuse of a human being.
