A reader replies to yesterday’s post “community warning about dangerous dude in mount pleasant”:
“Dear PoPville,
Oh my god the same thing happened to me on H Street/union station with someone with a similar description (short twist braids, but a bit taller, I’d guess around 5’10”). Sunday around 2:45 pm. Was transferring from the metro to streetcar so exiting the back entrance to union station. He pushed me to the ground so hard I broke my wrist and I’m now in a cast! I called the police and they arrested him. It’s uncanny bc he said something similar to the cops about how I was the one walking aggressively towards him and deserved it.
I didn’t press charges bc I was told he would be subject to an emergency mental health screening and would be off the streets. I hope it’s not the same person- and if any of your readers are assaulted by him, I would strongly urge them to contact the police because it is clear he is trying to hurt people!!!”
