A homeless man who in January was charged with assaulting people with a machete outside a Portland apartment complex was arrested again earlier this week for assault and disorderly conduct.
Ahmed Hussein Ismail, 38, who in a February press release Portland Police identified as “unhoused,” was arrested in Portland on Tuesday and charged with assault and disorderly conduct.

As of Thursday morning, Ismail is being held at the Cumberland County Jail on $1,500 bail.
According to a spokesperson for the Portland Police Department, Ismail was apprehended at the baseball field near the Deering Oaks Park.
“[H]e assaulted someone with a knife,” the spokesperson said. “According to our records, we still believe he is unhoused.”
On Jan. 31, 2023, shortly after 9 p.m., Portland Police responded to 211 Cumberland Ave. (Franklin Towers) for a report of a fight.
The fight reportedly involved a man who was “moving around the building with a machete and assaulting people,” police said.
The suspected assailant, Ahmed Ismail, was located by police and charged with assault, criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon and violating conditions of release.
Following his arrest, when Ismail was being booked at the Cumberland County Jail, he was charged with unlawful possession of scheduled “W” drugs and trafficking in prison contraband.

If he were a citizen he’d be charged with terrorizing, attempted assault, attempted murder and probably more for the machete attack and wouldn’t have been on the streets.
Thanks Janet & co.
The AG gives the Big Thumbs up on the Dexter Police shooting a WHITE MALE because he pushed a Fat-Assed Cop down . Now you get some Sub Saharan Muslim trying to replay the Rwandan Genocide , And it is all hugs and Kisses … No One is Coming to Save You … Not Trump , Or any LEO … Plan accordingly …Stay Armed …
Maybe they ought to pass a 3 day waiting period when people want to buy a machete. That should work.
I thought concealed carry was legal in Maine . Why would you go after someone with a machete when they might have a gun in their belt ? Or is that too complex a concept for some humans ? Let’s just agree to get together and take out the trash that’s showing up in our state . When is enough enough ?
Will anything save us from the lunacy that surrounds us ? Things need to change in Maine and fast
Maine has a growing negro problem and it’s up to the White citizenry to fix it. Tick tock.
look at this USLS POS of a human…..lets get him a cabinet post under Janet
Wait a second. Weren’t we told ad nauseam by the Left that we needed more migrants to do the jobs Americans won’t do and that all cultures were morally equivalent?
Give this jerk a one way ticket back to the third world hell hole he came here from illegally. When are we going to wake up as a country and put a stop to the disaster at our borders? The Romans didn’t and look what happened to them. History does repeat. “Unhoused” nice euphemism!
Someone comes at you with a machete wouldn’t the correct response be to shoot them dead? Just asking for a friend.
“According to our records, we still believe he is unhoused.” Why do we not uncountry him as well? Send him back to the $hit hole country he came from.
