A 19-year-old driver with a suspended license allegedly struck and injured an 11-year-old boy in Portland on Monday as he was riding his bike across Brighton Avenue.
At approximately 8:49 p.m., the Portland Police Department responded to the intersection of St. John/Devonshire Streets and Brighton Ave following a report of a vehicle striking a cyclist.
Police arrived and conducted a preliminary investigation, which allegedly determined that an 11-year-old boy was crossing Brighton Ave on his bike when he was struck and sustained minor leg injuries. The boy was treated on scene.
Officers identified the driver as Beder Hussein, 19, of Portland.
Hussein reportedly had a green traffic light at the time of the crash, but witnesses reported that he was talking on a cell phone immediately preceding the crash.
Hussein allegedly confirmed to officers that he had been talking on the phone at the time of the crash.
Officers learned during the investigation that Hussein allegedly had a suspended driver’s license, though they did not specify why the license had been suspended previously.
Hussein was charged with operating after suspension and driving to endanger, though it is not clear whether he was arrested or simply issued a criminal summons.
He does not currently appear in Cumberland County Jail records.




Beder Hussein …..son of Mohammed Mohammed Hussein .
Some more of Janet’s “ New Mainers “ .
Valued contributors to the economy of Maine , because as they keep telling us ….. “ diversity makes us stronger “ .
Keep shoveling this shit . Bobby Charles is going to clean the barnyard .
Catch and release at work!
Perhaps the main wire could make an inquiry as to why the license was suspended?
Is it a big difference between not paying a fine and an OUI, and there’s also a big difference between an OUI and an OUI with exacerbating factors, such as someone getting hurt in a crash or attempting to elude an officer.
I like how you keep saying Hussein. Your foaming at the mouth racist trailer trash boomer white “readers” will eat that up.
Muh, no one else runs over people in Portland. Especially on forest ave. It’s always a brown immigrant without a license. Hahaha!

Who is Leonard Leo the billionaire that funds this site through non profits, keeping it add free and free in general unlike the PPH which we have to pay to read!?!?

Iran outsmarted Trump’s jewish real estate agents. Trump got fleeced in the MOU (The USA surrender document).
Where did the Maine Wire mention the driver’s skin color, nationality, or immigration status?
It’s a public record that a named individual, whose drivers license was suspended, and who was using his cell phone, clobbered a kid. Only a racist would consider reporting that to be racist.

Leonard is a jewish name primarily. It also means Leo or lion. A billionaire named Leonard Leo funds this site. Remember, you read for free eddy baby. Sounds like a made up name. Or the family name was changed.
Hussein? Of course he wasn’t arrested.
Eddy baby is over looking louisewood and now Cheshire Cats comments.
Full of himself Eddy baby doesn’t care for the immigrants. He is just upset that I called out this jew loving China hating rag for repeating the name Hussein at the beginning of multiple paragraphs to drive it home to its white foxnews foaming at the mouth “readers” that this was another “new mainah” problem. Cause people named Ed don’t run over pedestrians in Portland. Like ever!
Lenny the Leo. Do you have issues with the reported facts? If the author got something wrong please enlighten us with your wisdom.
