A Portland, Oregon<\/a>, community is on edge after a homeless man attacked a resident and a growing homeless encampment encroaches on the neighborhood<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s terrifying,” Gwen Ingram, a resident living near Portland\u2019s Southeast 111th Avenue and Powell Boulevard, told Fox 12 Oregon<\/u><\/a> of the encampment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“People scream at you, yell at you, threaten you.”<\/p>\n

Ingram told the outlet that the area was a peaceful “Leave it to Beaver”-style neighborhood until the first homeless resident showed up in a camper and the population grew so large that homeless individuals are now allegedly sleeping on private property, stealing things and breaking into homes.<\/p>\n

“We never had any issues until the tents started moving in,” Ingram’s neighbor, Deena Closson, told the outlet, while explaining that she is scared to leave her home to get her mail.<\/p>\n

The residents said that police have not been much help bringing a resolution to the situation.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019d call and they\u2019d ask, \u2018Do you want us to come?\u2019”\u00a0Ingram claimed. “We\u2019re like, \u2018Yes, we want you come to come out!\u2019 That\u2019s a stupid question.”<\/p>\n

Fellow resident Jovenn Pacheco told the outlet that he often sees homeless people overdosing on the street.<\/p>\n

“The fire department came and literally brought this man back to life while I was holding my 6-month-old son in the window,” Pacheco explained. “I said, ‘That\u2019s it.’ So, I called the police. They answer and say drugs are decriminalized<\/a> and can\u2019t do anything.”<\/p>\n

“I live in a city where I don’t feel safe,” he added.<\/p>\n

Clossen claimed one night she was awoken by a man she didn\u2019t know standing over her bed. In a panic, she sprayed the intruder with bug spray and threw a hammer at him until he fled out the front door.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Clossen told the outlet that she will likely be “leaving the home that I love.”<\/p>\n

Ingram said the situation made her feel “absolutely helpless.”<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s a dark tunnel. No light. Absolutely helpless,” Ingram said.<\/p>\n

The residents all expressed sympathy for the plight of homeless people but said they need relief from the city to ensure their safety.<\/p>\n

“When is help coming?” Ingram wondered.<\/p>\n

The Portland Police Department<\/a> did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

Last month, a family in southeast Portland said that homeless squatters have been terrifying them by lighting fires that sometimes spread to their property and even caused propane tanks to ignite.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t know how many times I\u2019ve talked to police, because people are screaming, or someone is overdosing,” Jacob Adams told Fox 12 Oregon<\/a>. “It\u2019s just countless, countless first responders’ calls. We all have to love our neighbor no matter who they are. But at the point when they start setting your place on fire it becomes a little more difficult.”<\/p>\n

Armand Martens, an 83-year-old Vietnam veteran<\/u><\/a> who also lives next to the property, told Fox 12 Oregon that he “felt safer when I was walking around in downtown Saigon when I was in Vietnam than I do here in Portland.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
