Tuesday, July 17, 2012 RETENTION POND SEARCH BODY LOCATED C12-138746 As previously released, on July 16, 2012, at approximately 2:00 p.m., emergency personnel responded to the 2400 block of King Edward Street (Albina Park) regarding a possible assault involving a teenage male. Witnesses indicated that the male appeared distraught when he began yelling at passersby. At one point, the male began chasing two individuals who approached him offering assistance. The male was observed to enter the water on at least two occasions when he swam to the middle of the pond. The male appeared to be having difficulty remaining above water. Emergency services attended and began searching the area. The male was not located at that time.
