Officers with the Portland Police Bureau (PPB) have arrested two more people for their role in Portland's August 17 clash between far-right and left-wing protesters. These charges bring the total number of arrests stemming from the downtown protests to 15.

This morning, Portland police arrested Oscar Zamora, 33, for his involvement in the main flash points of the dueling rallies. According to court records, Zamora was arrested for allegedly attacking a bus carrying protesters associated with the far-right. He has been charged with inciting a riot, disorderly conduct in the second degree and criminal mischief in the second degree. A video of this confrontation shows Zamora—dressed in a teal shirt and colorful knit hat—running up to the all-black bus and trying to enter. He's met by a man who steps out of the bus and swings a hammer at Zamora and fellow protesters.

This afternoon, the Portland police arrested 24-year-old Hannah Ahern on charges of disorderly conduct in the second degree for an incident that occurred near SW Oak and SW 3rd.

In a video taken on August 17, Ahern is seen walking across a street and spitting on the ground in front of a group of police officers decked out in riot gear. As she continues to walk down the sidewalk, Ahern is stopped by a swarm of bike cops who pull her behind a line of armored officers to wrestle her into handcuffs.

Based on the video, it's unclear what she did to break the law. Ahern still doesn't know why she was arrested that afternoon.

"I have no idea what I did to be arrested," Ahern told the Mercury. "To be honest, I don't think they know, either."

Ahern says that the officers who arrested her smashed her face into the cement before placing her into a police van. They stuck a sticker on her back that read "discon 2" (short for disorderly conduct). She wasn't given a citation or taken to jail.

Once inside the van, Ahern started having a panic-induced asthma attack. She says that, instead of allowing her to use an inhaler, officers called an ambulance. She didn't seen another Portland police officer until 7:30 am on Wednesday, when they knocked on her door to deliver her arrest warrant.

"I'm very interested to hear what they think I did," she says.
