Neighbors in north Houston are sounding the alarm about a street corner that they say has become a hotspot for vagrancy and crime.
At all hours of the day, you’ll catch people loitering at the METRO light rail station and parking lots on the corner of Fulton and Cavalcade.
“We’ve seen cases where they’re trying to stab each other. They’re fighting each other,” a North Houston resident, Antonio Avalos, said.
“They’re using the restroom. They’re defecating on themselves. They are urinating. They are naked,” Monica Avalos said.
Others say they’ve caught people committing lewd acts and using drugs.
“Just the other day, we were passing by and there was a woman prostituting herself out there,” Cheryl Baxley said.
Neighbors say they’ve been reporting what they see to police but that the problems continue.
The Houston Police Department tells Eyewitness News that officers are handling the matter as best they can.
“When you’re too scared to get onto a bus or stand at the bus station, that’s not good,” Baxley said.
