There's a rough/homeless bloke that hangs around La Trobe x Elizabeth in the city. He's assaulted me twice now, once with use of actual force, and tonight I've just spotted him emptying a recycling bin and spreading the contents across La Trobe St.

The cops have a police report from when he punched me, but they simply don't care enough (or perhaps don't "have enough resources") to look at the photo I sent them and actually hunt him down knowing his regular location.

The cunt's an absolute menace and he's very angry, all the time. He's gonna seriously injure someone. I just give him a wide berth.

I’m so sorry dude. I fucking hate when they get aggressive because there’s not a lot you can do to deescalate or help their situation and then you’re left calling the cops. (And getting assaulted.)

I spent a lot of time calling psych triage services and homeless outreach and the cops… what finally worked was some cops finally agreed to come for a welfare check and the guy outside my house skulked off. Touch wood.

Please just do what you can to keep yourself safe
