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".
