A concerned mother who was waiting for the bus with her daughter at the time of the incident told ABC7 that safety is what she worries about when she's at the bus stop waiting to catch a bus.
"My concerns is safety issues. A lot of homeless people are out here harassing the patrons waiting for the bus. It's unsafe. They're down here trying to rob us, rape us, anything they can do, they're yelling at us, it's a lot of mental health. And I think that law enforcement needs to come out and kind of, address these issues, to make the city more safe" said Braneka Wilson.
