## Resource

A naked man allegedly tried to abduct a 7-year-old girl in Portland’s Tom McCall Waterfront Park last Saturday, sparking chaos as bystanders and parents intervened. Police response was delayed—officers were tied up with another armed incident—allowing the suspect to act before being caught wading in the Willamette River. The girl suffered minor scratches but was unharmed. The suspect, 31-year-old Daniel C. Vasey, now faces multiple charges. The incident has ignited safety concerns across the city, as authorities investigate both the crime and the delayed emergency response.
