News Release

Three Men Indicted For Violent Beating Of Fellow TriMet Passenger (re-sending To Correct Date Of Incident- Oct 15 Not Oct 16) - 10/27/25

 

 

October 27, 2025

 

Portland, OR- A Multnomah County Grand Jury indicted three men for the brutal beating of a man who was apparently trying to get to work on October 15th, 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 crimes.

 

The Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office is asking that each is held in jail without bail as the judicial process plays out.

 

In support of that request, MCDA filed an Affidavit in Support of Application for Violent Felony Determination Finding of Probable Cause. 

 

The Affidavit quotes reports from Transit Police which states that the three men began to board a TriMet bus at SE Stark Street and SE 142nd Avenue. One of the men was smoking and the driver told them they could not smoke on the bus. The man smoking told the other two to get on the bus but he did not get on and there was a delay. 

 

A rider who was already on the bus and shouted that he needed to get to work. The others appeared to shout back at him according to the affidavit. The rider then got out of his seat and rushed toward the men, according to the affidavit, to shoo them off the bus.

 

Instead, the three began punching him and he eventually fell to the ground. Then at least one of the three males stomped on the victim’s face with his shoes.

Another passenger said all three kicked, slapped and punched the victim while he was on the ground. 

 

A detective who later checked in on the victim at the hospital reported he had a continuing brain bleed, orbital fracture (a bone around the eye) and broken nose.

 

District Attorney Nathan Vasquez said: “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.”

 

Defendants are considered not guilty until convicted in a court of law.
