Thanks for sharing. Men are getting a lot bolder about harassing and hurting women in our neighborhood. I am going to keep an eye out for this guy.

Wait whats wrong with cops looking for someone who assaulted an elderly woman with no reason in our neighborhood. would think that would be a community priority

There’s a similar violent man who threatens to stab people on Ave C. He has taken up residence in the bus stop on Ave C & 11th street. Despite numerous complaints to 911, he still resides there threatening anyone who comes near

If this guy is actually around the area in a way that people KNOW where he hangs out, WHY hasn't he been arrested yet? He certainly looks crazed.
