Three people, including a transgender woman, were attacked in Portland, Oregon, in what police say may be a bias crime.

In Oregon, bias crimes are defined as any criminal act in which a person is targeted because of race, color, religion, sexual orientation, disability, gender identity or national origin, Portland police said.
