A Portland man was robbed of his money, handcuffed and shot at after police say he was ambushed by several people while responding to an online escort ad in Hillsboro on Sunday.

The man told investigators he went to a home in the 1200 block of Rondelay Road around 11:15 p.m., to meet a woman and was attacked by four or five people while he was inside, according to Lt. Henry Reimann, a Hillsboro police spokesman.

The man said his wallet was taken from him and he was handcuffed with zip-ties, Reimann said. At some point, he ran out of the home, screamed for help and one of his captors fired six rounds from a rifle at him, according to Reimann.

No one was hit by the gunfire. Someone called 911 and the suspects were gone by the time police arrived, Reimann said.

The man wasn't seriously injured. Reimann said he did not yet have the man's identity.

The alleged shooter is described as a man in his late 20s to early 30s, about 6-feet tall with a thin build, short dark hair and tattoos on both his arms, Reimann said.

Anyone with information on this case is asked to call the Hillsboro Police Department at 503-681-6175.
