Portland police arrested seven suspects after an assault on a MAX train left one man injured Tuesday afternoon.

Around 2 p.m., police responded to the Holgate Boulevard Transit Station in Southeast Portland to reports of a threat involving a weapon.

Officers found a man who had been assaulted and had non-life-threatening injuries. Officers found out that the suspects had flashed a knife but had not used it in the assault.

The suspects had fled, but police sent dogs out to search the area. They found and arrested seven people who they believe are connected to the case. Police did not immediately release any information about the suspects such as their ages, whether they believe the attack was random, or how far the suspects had fled before they were arrested.

This story will be updated.
