A man was walking his dog past a small homeless encampment at Elmont Drive and Pleasant Valley Road around 8 p.m. Monday when he was violently attacked.
A machete attack on a man walking his dog is just the latest violent incident on one corner inNeighbors say crime is getting worse and worse—with much of the violence happening near homeless camps—despite the passage of the camping ban nearly a year ago."They start basically ganging up on this guy. Someone hit him on the back of the head, and then they stabbed him with a machete," said a neighbor who wanted to remain anonymous.
On March 7, a man was shot and killed at a camp next to a creek that runs under East Riverside Drive near Pleasant Valley. She told me she saw a gun being waved around at the Elmont and Pleasant Valley camp, hours before Monday’s attack, but when she called police, they just did a drive-by.When the ban was reinstated, Austin implemented a four-phase plan to clean up homeless camps. Within a few months of that plan, many public encampments were cleaned up, but, almost one year later, the tents are back and the city says it is a resource issue.
