PORTLAND, OR — Portland Police arrested a 29-year-old man Wednesday after he reportedly ran up to a police horse, uttered a “karate-like battle cry” and delivered what a spokesman calls “a jumping, double kick” to the horse’s right thigh. Police say the horse, named Olin, was unfazed and unhurt.
Joseph Cruz was taken into custody, and charged with interfering with a Law Enforcement Animal. He was also wanted on an unrelated arrest warrant.
