Crime in Los Angeles, Including Violent Attacks By Homeless People, Rose by More than 50% in One Year

Attacks by homeless people are on the rise. There were 6,528 arrests in 2017 in Los Angeles. In 2018, arrests for criminal activity rose to 9,846, an increase of more than 50%. Some of the attackers have been issued tickets for battery instead of being arrested. UCLA’s California Policy Lab reported that 78% of unsheltered people are experiencing mental-health conditions, and 75% are suffering from substance abuse. The two likely are connected. -GEG

Attorney Brandon Coen wasn’t at all surprised when a homeless man walked up on a downtown Los Angeles sidewalk as Coen walked his dog, and punched him in the head.

“What was shocking was that I lived here for four years and it didn’t happen sooner,” Coen said. “I am always on the lookout.”

Security footage shows a homeless man strike a woman in the face with such force that she falls backward onto the ground. The man is then seen punching Coen, who managed to block some of the force with his left arm.

It’s not just Coen.

In one case, a Los Angeles woman was pulled from her car not far from the Hollywood Walk of Fame and doused with feces. She’s had to get tested for infectious diseases every three months since. 

In December of 2018, a man was pushed off the sidewalk, and run over by a truck in downtown Los Angeles.

In August of 2019, a homeless man was caught on camera tossing a large rock at the windshield of a man’s car, and was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. 

According to Los Angeles Police Department records obtained and analyzed by the NBC4 I-Team, 6,528 homeless people were arrested on criminal c
