Police: Man on bike threw fire bomb at police car
»Play Video
PORTLAND, Ore. - Portland Police have a suspect in custody they said threw a molotov cocktail at a police car early Monday morning as he rode past a precinct parking lot on a bicycle.
Sergey Yefimobich Turzhanskiy, 24, was arrested just after 1:30 a.m. after police said he threw a fire bomb at an unoccupied police cruiser parked in the North Precinct parking lot in the 400 block of NE Emerson Street.
Sgt. Andrew Edgecomb with Portland Police said several officers were coming into the precinct at the end of their shift when they heard a noise and a neighbor called out that someone was trying to firebomb one of the cars.
Turzhanskiy was apprehended a few blocks away by officers who chased him, Edgecomb said, and fire crews quickly put out the flames.
There was "minimal" damage to a police car, he said.
Police said Turzhanskiy is charged with attempted arson, possession of a destructive device, attempt to elude, criminal mischief, disorderly conduct and obstructing governmental administration.
Arson investigators with Portland Fire and Rescue are also looking into the incident. Turzhanskiy is due in court on Tuesday, according to police.
Edgecomb said so far he has no idea what the motive was behind the incident.
Holy catfish! I'm glad I didn't have any liquid in my mouth when I took a gander at that picture! LMAO!
Talk about bed hair!! Whoooweeee! Bubba's gonna love him! LOL!!
Obviously he hates Society and wants to go to Prison ...
This can't be true. We're always told that it's the Tea Party folks that cause all of the trouble.
 @last boyscout Nah, the Tea Partiers are by and large far too old and fat to ride a bicycle.  Now if he'd been on a scooter, you'd have been sniffing up the right trail.
@Festivus....and this was at night...Tea baggers are usually in bed by about 7 PM
 @Festivus I surprised you didn't throw in race, sexual preference and religion, but there's still time. :-)Â
 @Festivus Health, yes, to a degree. Common sense, logic, rational thoughts, not so much.Â
 @last boyscout Then we can both agree - only the Occupy Vegans protest with youth and good health on their side.
 @Festivus I'll go you one better, you find a large photo of Tea Party folks, and I'll find one of a Union teacher strike, and I'll show you some fat, overweight well fed protesters.
 @last boyscout Go watch coverage of just about any Tea Party event and tell me I'm exaggerating. Â
Surprised he didn't set his hair on fire.
 @Phuzz Maybe he did. That random feat of hair could just be what wasn't shaved off xD
Purple Rain...Purple Rain.
 @Beergod Yellow rain in his case.
His name is Prince, and he is funky.
Molotov is a proper noun. It should be capitalized in your article.Â
Â
Alternatively, "Portland police" not "Portland Police" is correct. If you want to capitalize "police," you need to use the correct name, "Portland Police Department."
Â
Thank you and good luck with your internship.Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Actually the correct name is the Portland Police Bureau!
Perhaps I am wrong, but wouldn't a comma be appropriate before "not" and also after "Police?"
 @OSUx2 Not necessarily. Depends on how you speak. Wheezy asthmatics use many more commas than people who breathe normally. And persons from the South have no idea what a comma is used for. ;-)
@caphillkid...and if this were the Times or the Journal I would say good for you.
 @caphillkid Best post ever!
Wow, just wow. What an effing turd. Did you not get enough hugs as a boy, Serge? Grow some hair on your pair, and be a contributing member to society some day. Idiot.
I'm guessing this guy's blind senile mother cuts his hair.
Is the the same Sergey Turzhanskiy from Chicago who was arrested in October 24th 2007 for violence at a Army Recruiting Station outside Chicago?
why would you think that?
 @Constitution Warrior Looks like him:

@Constitution Warrior I think so. Dude seems to not like people in uniform. The funny thing is that he will see plenty of uniforms now - prison guards wear uniforms.
Sergey Yesimabich Turdyanskiy nice hair,much better name,and yes you are
Sounds like something like what has happened in these two videos. is this going to be a trend starting?

I think we have a major thing starting to happen .
@lee986321 I know this one police officer named Rick Grimes from a small Kentucky town. Lately, he gets attacked quite often by people who were formerly law abiding citizens. Even his prior partner, Shane Walsh, attacked him and Rick had to defend himself...and his son had to put Shane down permanently.Â
Â
Winters coming!
Â
 @Dirtman  @lee986321 Shane lives on in the newborn, motherless, baby.
eh three, there is even a video of an officer being chased by a suspect, yes being chased and being shot at by a suspect. the suspect hunted down an officer and was shooting at him. He Finally got arrested, but what is this world coming to?
So now we have anarchists trying to relive the early 1900's? Â Â
 @jpk No more liek we have people starting to wage war on the police. YOU get the PICTURE!? rmeber t here was also an arson event that happened that destroyed several police units just last year? these events are increasing. and it is not one freaking bit funny, Police have familly to. but people are now starting to play for keeps just like that one guy in the white vehicle he exited with gun drawn in a down position making him a harder target and all 5 shots hit the officer. So you tell, Me what is going one.YOU tell me that removing all Morals of right and wrong including a Beliefs in Christianity isn't having an impact on people, You tell me MR know it all. You Tell me that when the criminals have more rights then US it doesn't effect people? You Tell me MR Know all, in fact any of you KNOW IT ALLS YOU TELL ME where were headed!
 @lee986321  @jpk This is the dumbest rant ever.
@lee986321 Take,,,,Take,,,,Take it easy.
@lee986321...you're gonna stroke out, dude.
@lee986321 Good Lord! You are as wonked out as the guy in the picture!
Lee, did you write this? Or did you forget where your fingers did their walkies this morning?
 @jpk No just very angry at people making light of this subject and being to blind to understand what is really happening.
@lee986321@jpk
If these people choose to protest with Molotov cocktails, we're headed for dead protesters in the street. Â
Â
Non violent, peaceful protest is fine, but risking the lives of LEO's and public property....not cool.
Â
 @Solipsist01 Really?
 @lee986321  @'CouvGuy  @jpk Honestly, Lee, it's almost like you WANT civil war to begin.....Do you have any real solutions, or are you one of those that just wants to see the world burn....??
@lee986321....I am VERY thankful indeed. I miss the good old days of flaming bags of poo.
 @'CouvGuy  @jpkJust thankful it wasn't Thermite or Thermate. that would destroyed the police unit in seconds.
 @'CouvGuy  @jpk you don't seem to get it do you? its starts out with these things, but then it escalates, What I am trying to say is people are leaving all morals behind..Many are stressed, many are angry, and many are starting take there aggressions out not just on family but whom ever they see as a threat including officers who on there home turf.
Â
Were are very lucky we haven't become places like Greece where those battles are very nasty, here we just wrestle, in other countries they kill. and I fear this is where we are headed. I feel like a War is brewing.
With all the crazy things happening in this world, this is just what we needed......some nut job causing this kind of fear in others! This kind of hell just brings more hell for our children's future! All this shows is that we have let to many people in our country that want to bring us down! If you want to protest something, there are much smarter ways then the possibility of harming someone! Go back where you came from and ruin your own country! Leave ours along!!      GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!Â
I think this guy is channeling Prince from the 80's.
 @Owt_Raged Ok, so this is the 2nd time I've had a comment just disappear into the ether.  No notification from the Illuminati, no <this post has been deleted>, nuthin'. Â
Â
I guess LiveFyre isn't a fan of Chapelle. Â Or waffles. Â Not sure which.
These people are like the Mafia, they know how to make things dissapear.
@Owt_Raged I was trying to figure out who he looked like....you nailed it. Ha ha!
That's funny. But this guy will not be smiling in a while.
