The Eugene Police Department arrested a man late Saturday night on E. 12th Avenue and Alder Street for disorderly conduct.

The Eugene Fire Department requested increased response from EPD after the man intended to assault multiple fire fighters stationed near E. 13th and Alder, according to police sergeant Julie Smith.

“He tried to attack the fire fighters, then proceeded to walk down (Alder) street and confronted other innocent bystanders,” Smith said.

Smith said the man took a fighting stance as if he was going to hit the fire fighters but didn’t attack. More than five police cars arrived at the location of the arrest.
