Some residents of an east London, Ont. community housing apartment building say they don’t feel safe in their own homes anymore.
“We’re caught between a rock and a hard place,” says Tammy Burgess, a resident of 202 McNay Street, a London and Middlesex Community Housing building. “This is a place for us to feel safe, and we are not safe, we are not safe.”
She was expressing the anger and vulnerability she says many tenants are feeling after a violent Sunday at the high rise apartment building.
The London Police Service (LPS) responded to the residence at 10:45 p.m. Sunday night where they say a male was taken to hospital in life-threatening condition after being stabbed.
“We had a town hall meeting and I mentioned something about this,” says Burgess. “What are we going to do about all the people that come here that do not live here? What are we going to do, wait till somebody gets stabbed?
Earlier in the day police responded to an unrelated disturbance at the building.
