Spitting incident with homeless person
Took the bus to WEM today but due to LRT construction they drop you off about a block from the mall. Less than a minute after getting off the bus, a homeless woman walking on the side walk saw me, proceeded to charge towards me, screamed “bitch” at me, and then spat on me out of no where. It happened at the section of sidewalk that is blocked off on both sides for construction taking place, so I felt helpless as there was no one else around. I ended up running out of there as fast as I could in case she charged at me again or had a weapon.
Her behaviour was completely unhinged and unsettling and I feel she could end up hurting someone. Is this something that can be reported to the non-emergency line, or would it be ignored since I didn’t get hurt?
I wish the city could do more for homelessness and addiction issues to help make it a safer place.
