How To Handle Attacks By The Homeless

As the city and police prepare to tackle homelessness, two recent violent attacks highlight the urgency to go after the issue as soon as possible.

There have been two attacks by homeless people in recent days. One of them involved a 72 year-old architect waiting at a corner, stabbed in the neck with a pair of scissors by a homeless woman.

The other attack was on a tourist leaving his Grand Central hotel. He was clubbed in the face by a homeless man.

From City Hall to Police Plaza, a real and effective solution to violent homelessness is being sought.

You can start by getting them jobs and homes. Mental health services would help too.

But undoubtedly a tactic involving increased police violence against them will be selected instead.
