Hatchet-wielding homeless man terrorizes Highland Park as residents say enough is enough.
Residents of Highland Park are on alert and frustrated by a hatchet-wielding homeless man who has been seen going around the neighborhood trying to chop down tree branches.
"We should be able to go out and not feel worried about someone following us with a hatchet. I think that's not too much to ask," said a concerned mother who has lived in Highland Park for seven years. And when Eyewitness News drove past the homeless encampment, cameras captured the man chopping at a tree then as well.
Another man who has been a resident of the neighborhood for eight years says the homeless encampment is new and he wants someone -- like a social worker -- to help the people living there.
