PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A north Portland golfer tells police he responded to four young men who pointed a BB gun at him by ramming them with his golf cart.

Lt. Robert King says the golfer told officers that he took the BB gun from his harassers Monday evening and they ran off.

King says one of the four might have had a handgun in his waistband.

Officers called for a canine unit to help them search the area around Herron Lakes Golf Course.

King did not identify the golfer.

Witnesses told police one young man was limping after his encounter with the cart.
