• Shocking video captured the moment Andrew Duncomb, 25, was knifed in the back while out filming a protest in Portland early Saturday morning.
  
• The clip from Saturday's incident shows him approaching one man trailing him before the man suddenly pulled out a knife
  
• The stabbing suspect was identified as Blake David Hampe, who was arrested and charged with second-degree assault and unlawful use of a weapon
  
• Hampe claims Duncomb had 'set up' on him and tried to choke him

Quote:According to Duncomb, the trouble started just before 2:30 a.m. on July 25th, when a group began trailing him and a few of his friends for several blocks. He said that eventually he handed his video camera to a friend and decided to confront one of the men from the group. The incident was recorded on his video camera.

Police and paramedics responded to the incident. Duncomb was given first aid at the scene and then transported to OHSU Hospital, where he was treated for his injuries. He was released on July 26th. One suspect, since identified as Blake David Hampe, 43, was arrested at the scene by police.

Quote:In a May 20 letter to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, Israel’s Minister for Strategic Affairs Orit Farkash-Hacohen called for the company to uphold its own hate speech policy and remove antisemitic tweets from Khamenei calling Israel a “cancerous growth” to be “uprooted and destroyed.”

“Twitter’s own Hateful Conduct Policy clearly stipulates that a user “may not promote violence against, or directly attack, or threaten other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin or religious affiliation… or calls for mass murder,” Farkash-Hacohen wrote to Dorsey.

Twitter’s refusal to remove the Iranian dictator’s tweets have led to accusations of “double standards” from Israeli lawmakers after the social media giant recently began restricting President Trump’s tweets, claiming they were misinformation or promoted violence.
