A homeless man who earlier this year was charged with assaulting people with a machete, and who a month ago was arrested for an alleged knife attack in a Portland park, this week was arrested yet again on charges of assault and burglary.
Ahmed Hussein Ismail, 38, who police have indicated is “unhoused,” was arrested by Portland Police on Thursday, Sept. 26, and charged with simple assault, burglary and violating conditions of release.
Ismail is accused of forcing his way into an apartment on Weymouth Street and assaulting one of the residents, a Portland Police spokesperson said. No weapon was involved in the alleged assault.
Booking records at the Cumberland County Jail indicate that Ismail is being held without bail.
A month before his arrest this week, on Tuesday, Aug. 27, Ismail was arrested and charged with simple assault and disorderly conduct.
A Portland Police spokesperson told the Maine Wire that the Aug. 27 assault occurred at a baseball field in Deering Oaks Park, where he was accused of assaulting someone with a knife.
In late January of this year, Ismail was arrested and charged with carrying out at a machete attack at Portland’s Franklin Towers apartment complex.
The fight reportedly involved a man who was “moving around the building with a machete and assaulting people,” according to a police.
When being booked at the Cumberland County Jail for the alleged machete attack, Ismail was subsequently charged with additional counts of unlawful possession of schedule W drugs and trafficking in prison contraband.
According to Maine voting records, Ismail is registered to vote as a Republican.
Ahmed , How long are we going to put up with this “Muzzy” Scum ?
It’s obvious this guy has mental issues. He should run for office in the democratic party, seems highly qualified.
There is an empty room at any house with Harris/Walz signs in the front yard.
I like the empt room idea.
Maybe Attorney Kathryn Slattery can help out with an empty room or G. Sores?
Put this piece of excrement in jail where he belongs .
If the judge won’t do it , then put HER in jail instead .
When is this shit going to stop .?
It’s out of control .
When are the people of Maine going to wake up ?
“In late January of this year, Ismail was arrested and charged with carrying out at a machete attack at Portland’s Franklin Towers apartment complex.” Isn’t that the same building that Freddy Akoa, a Christian, was murdered in by 3 of Ismail’s co-religionists? Keep bringing them in because we all know they “greatly add to the fabric of our society and enrich our culture.”
*Adds republican affiliation at the end like it matters. Gotta give it the ol’ woke liberal college try. lol.
This Mussy is as much of a Republican and over the hill Angus is an “Independent”.

“When are the people of Maine going to wake up ?”
Don’t hold your breath brother. all is lost. Maybe we need a 7-day waiting period to “cool off” on Machetes. That will fix the problem, right?
Ms. Pingree, What are your plans for the 425,000 convicted criminals your Party let in to America and Maine. That would mean we get 8,500 jail birds here
Can you put them up for the night?
I’m color blind, but from his behaviors, maybe he would feel more at home in Somalia.
Recidivism is a problem. These criminals need to be locked away for a long time.
Can’t the state give him a room at the Grey Bar Hotel.and a one way ticket back to where he came from after his stay.
“Unhoused”? Does it make whack jobs feel better to change names, he’s homeless, unhoused is stupid.
