Video captured a homeless man jumping on the hood of a car before smashing its windshield at the corner of Hollywood and Highland, and it’s just one of the countless scenes across Los Angeles and California in which homeless people suffering from addiction or mental illness vandalize property, assault people or sometimes even commit murder.
The woman who shot the video happens to be a therapist who treats the unhoused.
“It was obviously a cry for help,” Madeleine, who only wished to be identified by her first name, said. “It felt like he was at the end of his rope.”
The man in the video was later identified as 30-year-old Adam Noel with a lengthy criminal history. He was charged with felony vandalism but let out of jail the next day.
“We don’t know where he is now,” Kerry Morrison, who founded Hollywood 2.0, a non-profit to help homeless people with mental health issues. "My ideal scenario would be that there would be a crisis team who would immediately be mobilized to connect with him directly.”
