I finally called 911.

This morning (just now) the schizophrenic guy who lives here harassed the building maintenance workers at close range. He actually walked up on them as they were working around the dumpster. He was shouting stuff like "You're f*cking dead, man."
I finally called 911. I have had to listen to his loud ramblings in the parking lot for weeks now. He woke me up this morning. But I had never seen him be physically threatening toward other people before.
Yes, he's the same guy who took his garbage out to the dumpster naked the other day.
I wonder what will happen next. Have his closer neighbors not reported him? I think he need to be 5150ed at this point.

He probably could use at least a 72-hour hold, for starters.

@TheHorse might not have money for the meds.

@TheHorse - A strong possibility. He also could be one of those people that actually has never been on meds for some reason. They're out there.

People with schizophrenia can be dangerous without knowing what are they doing. Calling 911 is the best option. By the way in my country some people still think that people with schizophrenia is caused by ghost etc.

@TheHorse shaman is believed able to cure that. Usually from older generation or people from remote area have such belief. Not all of them but in many case when they have such belief we see that background. Of course education too

Hope they take him for an evaluation at least.

I hope your 911 report leads to appropriate action. Even if it hasn't affected you directly, having a neighbor like that can threaten our sense of security. I hope the situation is resolved soon and that he receives care from the proper mental health authorities.

This guy need to be rounded up and put into an institution for evaluation before something really bad happens,

He obviously needs help. His threats might be empty threats, but still, not worth waiting to find out. I would have called, too. He needs to be evaluated.
