A video that has made the rounds on social media shows a man, owner of an antique business in San Francisco, spraying water on a homeless woman using a garden hose to make her leave.
The antique dealer said the woman was known in the neighborhood as a “disruptive” and that he was forced to call social services several times.
He explained that he did so after trying to find a solution and after spending several days cleaning up the “mess” caused by this woman.
Law enforcement has spoken with the man about the scene, but no further legal action is expected.
The city of San Francisco is facing a crisis related to the growing number of homeless people.
