Saturday 10 September 2022 04:28 PM Mob of homeless San Francisco drug addicts brawling on the sidewalk trends now
A mob of homeless drug addicts were seen brawling on a San Francisco street amid trash and squalid conditions, as city officials make an open call for 'ideas' to fix its open air drug market problem.
The wild scene was captured on video by a man identified as J. Terrell, who was on an evening walk in San Francisco's SoMa neighborhood.
'On my evening walk. SOMA isn't safe. Just happened,' he wrote in part. 'Love the smell of crack and poop. Beautiful San Francisco,' he wrote on Twitter.
The attached footage shows two homeless men - one shirtless - on the ground fighting as a third man is seen whacking the shirtless addict with a broom as the bystanders stand around watching the fracas unfazed by the chaotic event.
The viral video has now garnered more than 2.4 million views.
During the anarchy, a dog is barking incessantly at the pair wrestling on the ground as another person is seen snagging a pair of sneakers and placing them in a plastic bag before walking away.
'Hey cops. Cops,' someone is heard yelling in the background.
The frenzy was disrupted once a man on an electric scooter came racing by pulling up to the pandemonium as the fighting ends.
Each of the men fighting get back on their feet acting as if nothing had happened moments before.

With nearly 1,700 fatal overdoses since the start of 2020, San Francisco's drug crisis has resulted in almost double the death toll of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In June, the city's mayor, London Breed, announced that their notorious taxpayer-funded open-air drugs market will close at the end of the year.
Tuesday's plan, named 'San Francisco Recovers,' appeared to be a return to the open-air market system, however.
Their plan promoted 'supervised consumption sites where drug users can safely use substances under medical supervision to prevent accidental overdose deaths.'
They featured a range of other requests for handling the crisis, but instead of mapping a way to achieve them instead requested the 21 city departments and six city
