Portland police are looking for those responsible for smashing six windows of the Ahram Halal Market on Forest Ave.<\/p>\n
A witness told police they saw a man with what looked like a baseball bat smashing the windows around 11:00 pm.<\/p>\n
Police say they\u2019ve had difficulty finding any leads due to poorly lit security footage and only a vague description of the suspect as a man in dark clothing.The business owner says nothing was taken.<\/p>\n
Customers are sad that something like this would happen here. \u201cIt\u2019s a very racially diverse community and I\u2019m really sorry to hear that. Good people here of all colors and it\u2019s a shame,\u201d says customer Evan Andrews.<\/p>\n

The council on American-Islamic Relations says it\u2019s important for authorities to investigate the possibility of anti-Muslim bias as a motivation for the crime.<\/p>\n
