A man suspected of crashing into three women on a downtown Portland, Oregon, sidewalk and then leaving the scene has been identified.

Sixty-one-year-old Greg Phillip Porter was arrested within hours of the crash. He is being held at the Multnomah County jail on several counts, including three counts each of attempted murder and assault.

Portland police Sgt. Pete Simpson said police haven't determined a motive.

Simpson says someone called 911 after spotting a blue sport utility vehicle that matched the description of the car.

The crash happened Friday morning near Portland State University. Two of the three women were seriously injured.
