I saw a number of these fliers (this one, unfortunately was stapled to a tree— but we’ll let that go) posted around Bedford Avenue and North 7 Street recently. If anyone reading this has seen Nermal or know of his whereabouts please contact his person at the above-listed telephone number. Thanks!

LAST GASP: Live From Manhattan Avenue, Part II

(Or: Special Delivery)

As some of you have probably noticed earlier today I posted footage of a man who decided to sit in the middle of the street and block traffic. Well, shortly thereafter I noticed a couple of NYPD patrol cars canvassing the area. I am pleased to announce that as of 7:00 p.m. they got their man! Sort of.

I do not post this footage with the intent of criticizing the 94th Precinct. They have a job to do— and regrettably handling individuals who are clearly mentally ill has become one of their responsibilities. Rather, I have to wonder about the effectiveness of a rehabilitation facility— one which is funded in part by our tax dollars, I’ll add— when someone under their care requires a police motorcade to get back home. Clearly whatever this facility is doing is not working— and sadly it is probably only a matter of time before this man gets hurt.
