'It's disgusting': Disturbing footage of harm draws outrage from locals!
- Replies 10
Communities need to look out for each other in times of need.
However, a recent incident sparked outrage from locals and sparked a call for empathy towards the vulnerable.
An unidentified man from Adelaide was caught on camera in the middle of a heartless act.
The disturbing footage showed the man throwing a glass bottle at a woman sleeping outside a medical clinic.
The woman, lying down on the floor, screamed at the man after hearing the shattered glass bottle.
This predicament should be a chilling reminder of the brutality vulnerable members of society often face.
In a cowardly retreat, the man quickly turned around and fled the scene in a car.
To add to the outrage, the man and his accomplices ran away in laughter.
This vile act received massive outrage and disgust from community members and local organisations.
Hutt Street Centre provides services and assistance for people experiencing homelessness.
Chris Burns, the centre's Chief Executive, expressed his revulsion at the attack.
'It's disgusting that one human being would do that to another human being who is particularly vulnerable,' he stated.
More than the physical harm, the attack could have psychological repercussions as well.
Catherine House's Jaylee Cooper—a non-profit that offers support to women experiencing homelessness—highlighted the likely trauma inflicted on the woman.
'As a community, we need to be providing more services and support through crisis accommodation and longer-term housing strategies across South Australia,' Ms Cooper shared.
Unfortunately, this incident was not an isolated one.
Mr Burns stated that violence is a 'harsh reality for many people experiencing homelessness', with women often being the primary victims.
According to the 2024 Australian Homelessness Monitor, there has been a 22 per cent increase in homelessness over the last three years.
Furthermore, a 2022-23 specialist homelessness services annual report revealed that homelessness services across the country turn away 295 people daily.
The majority of these numbers include women and children.
