Sean Ahmed was arrested last Friday on charges of assaulting Anchorage hikers. He was released from jail the next day. Prosecutors say he soon returned to a local trailhead and threatened more people.
A man accused of assaulting and threatening people last week on Anchorage trails is back behind bars Thursday, after he allegedly assaulted another group of hikers upon his release on initial charges.that Sean Ahmed, 38, was first arrested last Friday on four counts of assault. Officers had received several reports throughout the week of a man threatening and assaulting hikers and walkers on local trails, mostly on the eastside of town.
“Upon seeing the officer, the suspect walked away into the woods,” police said. “Once backup units arrived, the officers located the suspect lying down in the trees; he was detained without further incident.” “The victim recognized the defendant from the news and social media as the person who had been assaulting people on the trails,” prosecutors wrote. “Fearing for her personal safety and that of her two friends, the victim drew her bear spray to defend herself and her friends. The victims’ two friends also drew their bear spray.”Officials with the state Department of Law said the cases against Ahmed have been transferred to the municipal prosecutor’s office.
