  8. 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

  9. 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.
