[NYPOST] The Portland man who allegedly beat a driver unconscious is a dad with a lengthy rap sheet who was recently fired from his security job, according to social media and reports.More details about Marquise Love, 25, emerged Wednesday as police continue to seek him in the alleged Sunday night attack on driver Adam Haner.
Love has been arrested several times since 2012, including on charges of domestic assault and theft, according to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office. He’s also been prosecuted for driving offenses and was named in a paternity case, with a court order establishing his paternity of the child in 2014, records show.
Video allegedly shows Love, wearing a vest that said "Security," kicking Haner in the face — and knocking him out — as the victim sat on the pavement. The beatdown occurred after Haner crashed his 4×4 truck and he was yanked out of the vehicle by the mob of Black Lives Matter protesters.
Love purportedly posted on Snapchat about the alleged assault.
"Might go to jail for murder tonight for a racist when all I did was fight him," he wrote. "Look it up on twitter put money on my books and come see me."
Police said Haner was treated at the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries and released. He has since posted photos of himself sporting two black eyes.
Love worked as a security guard for Star Protection Agency between January and March, the company’s COO Bryan Kettler told Fox News. All equipment to Love has been accounted for, Kettler said.
Photos on his since-deleted Facebook page show him posing with his young son in a Black Lives Matter T-shirt and DJing. He described himself as a "ramp agent" at Portland International Airport, though the airport said he hasn’t worked there for several years.
"This person does not work at PDX and has not for a number of years," the airport said in a tweet.
He worked for Menzies Aviation at the airport until July 2016, a Port of Portland spokeswoman told the Washington Post.
Love’s Facebook page says he lives in Portland but is originally from Miami, Florida.
