PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – The three suspects accused in August’s stabbing attack near Downtown Portland’s Central Library made their first appearance in court Tuesday, just one day after Chair Jessica Vega Pederson released video of the incident.

Anthony Nicholas, Ja’Riyah Williams, and Daviana Anderson are each charged with eleven counts, including felonies like assault and unlawful use of a weapon. Anderson is facing two more charges, for a total of 13. Each entered a not guilty plea at their arraignment on Tuesday morning.

The newly released video shows what led up to the August 25 incident, where Zebulin Hannon said three people attacked and stabbed him. That stabbing prompted a back-and-forth between county leaders as calls for more security ramped up.
