Right now, there is a homeless man in a NE patriots jersey, long grey hair, wheeling a suitcase with umbrellas all over it. He has appeared in the north end over the past month and is constantly harassing people, swearing, directing traffic, mumbling, and is seemingly high, drunk, or mentally disturbed.
