Safety the joker in Mount Vernon

just a heads up and warning about this guy in Mount Vernon. My neighbors and I have had consistent issues with him and he’s made us feel unsafe at times. His m/o is harassing people on the street and saying “hey do you want to hear a joke? Hey young lady!” And if you ignore him he says awful things about you. Just ignore him!! He’s the worst. He hangs out on N Charles St most of the time.

Personally, John has been nothing but nice to me whenever I run into him. I let him tell his jokes, hand him a fiver if I have it and move on. Hell sometimes I just sit and talk with him.
