A Roseburg man was jailed by Roseburg Police for two alleged harassment incidents on Saturday.

An RPD report said just after 11:30 a.m. a victim said he was sitting inside a bus stop at the corner of West Harvard Avenue and West Madrone Street when a man walked over and tipped his wheelchair into the street and then punched him in the face. The victim claimed he was attacked for no reason. A nearly witness corroborated what had happened.

The victim also identified the aggressor as being the same person who had attacked him earlier in the day. The 37-year old suspect was charged with two-counts of harassment and for a Marion County warrant. He was held on $5,000 bail.
