Only in Portland: Man chews off another man's face believing he was a killer robot
When they arrived, police found the suspect still attacking the victim.
In 911 dispatch audio from early Tuesday morning, a responder can be heard saying: “Half of this guy’s face appears to be chewed off.”…
The suspect gave police the fake name “El Baker” but they used fingerprints to identify him as 25-year-old Koryn Kraemer, a recent transplant from Georgia. KATU has more:
Officers arrived to find Kraemer still on top of the victim, identified as a 78-year-old man from Hillsboro, “gnawing on the side of [his] face.”
He reportedly didn’t respond to police orders to stop. He was taken into custody.
A probable cause document said the victim was rushed to the hospital. His entire right ear had been bitten off in the attack, and the skin on the right side of his face “had been ‘chewed down’ to the point where his skull was visible.”
In interviews with law enforcement, Kraemer said he tried to kill the victim because he believed he was a “robot,” adding he was sure he was robotic because of how he “smelled.”
