A Soundview man says he was shocked and scared when he left his house Saturday morning, only to see his next-door neighbor crouched in the open doorway of their shared hallway, completely naked.<\/p>\n
“I wanted to hit him,” said Saabir Naasir, who recorded the entire incident, “but I’m a gentleman, and I got to do everything lawfully.”<\/p>\n
Naasir says he called the police immediately. Pictures shared with News 12 show officers taking the neighbor into custody.<\/p>\n
However, Naasir says the man was back in the building that very night without warning, and continued the behavior – now touching himself in the doorway.<\/p>\n
“I can’t even bring my 6-year-old son over, because I don’t want something like that to happen in front of him,” Naasir said.<\/p>\n
Things then turned violent Sunday night, as Naasir watched through his peephole as the man came at his door with a knife, leaving scratches all over it.<\/p>\n
“I’m scared,” he admitted. “I can’t sleep, because every noise, I’m thinking is him. I don’t know if he’s going to try to come in my house. I need help.”<\/p>\n
Naasir says that so far, help has not come.<\/p>\n
Complaints to management were all closed with no follow-ups or action.<\/p>\n
Texts to the landlord shown to News 12 were ignored, with the landlord finally answering that he had been busy.<\/p>\n
“I should be at home inside my house,” Naasir said, “(Instead), I feel like I’m in jail.”<\/p>\n
Naasir called the NYPD again on Tuesday morning and says the neighbor ran out of the building after hearing him make the call.<\/p>\n
Police told Naasir to let them know the next time he sees the neighbor.<\/p>\n
“I am Muslim, so I can’t be drinking. I feel like getting a drink, I’m so stressed out,” Naasir said.<\/p>\n
The landlord did finally reach out to Naasir after he told them News 12 was in the building – promising to come over on Wednesday morning, and do everything he could to help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Soundview man says he was shocked and scared when he left his house Saturday morning, only to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":276158,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,9,24,63,129,131,130],"class_list":["post-276157","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-bronx","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276157","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=276157"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276157\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/276158"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=276157"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=276157"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=276157"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
