After a Black student at the University of California-Berkeley introduced an unhoused Washington, D.C., man who says he has prostate cancer, to the public via a viral TikTok video, revelations about his troubled past have emerged. Despite her initial perception of the man she affectionately called “Unc,” as a benign individual, new reports suggest he has a history of violence against others in the unsheltered community.
Graden says she had done an act of service for a homeless man: she got him some tea , bought him medicine, and set him up in a hotel for the night.
Her video gained over an outstanding 31.6 million views on her page.
Now, a local station is reporting that Hebron has an extensive criminal record, has spent considerable time in and out of prison over the years, and has a violent streak.
In a video from 2020, brought to the public’s attention after Graden’s footage took the internet by storm, shows a man authorities say was he was placing a scarf over a victim’s head as she slept outside the Foundry United Methodist Church on P Street in Northwest D.C. He proceeded to repeatedly strike her face and body for several minutes.
