u/HawtGarbage918

Was out walking my dog this morning around 7am in Prospect Park when we passed by a guy sleeping under a tree about 100 yards to the southeast of the 11th Street entrance. We were about 30 feet away from him when he woke up, locked eyes on my dog, and started screaming threats to beat and stab him. Specifically targeted at the dog, not me. Then the guy laid back down.

Guy was a black male, probably 25-35 years old, slender / athletic build. Had on a black shirt and black pants (looked like sweatpants and a sweatshirt) and gray sneakers. Also had a gallon jug of water, and was sleeping on a light-colored towel or blanket.

I called the 78th Precinct when I got home to give a statement, and they said "Yeah, there's guys like that in the park," and said next time call 911 right at the moment it happens and they'll send some officers to help the person out.

Just wanted to let everyone know to keep being careful, I guess.
