PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - A judge has denied bail to a Portland man charged with fatally stabbing two men on a light-rail train and injuring a third.

Multnomah County Judge Cheryl Albrecht ruled Monday after initially delaying her decision after a lengthy bail hearing last week.

A homicide detective testified at that hearing that Jeremy Christian inflicted 11 stab wounds in 11 seconds after passengers confronted him about anti-Muslim comments.
