A 78-year-old man had part of his face chewed off in a grisly attack in a TriMet train station on Jan. 2, just days after an assailant shoved a toddler onto the tracks outside of Portland.

The 25-year-old accused, Koryn Kraemer, allegedly attacked the victim early on Jan. 3, biting the elderly man so severely that police reported seeing his skull.
