Residents of a Minneapolis neighborhood have asked city leaders to close a recently established homeless camp after several concerning incidents, including an explosion.

According to 5 Eyewitness News, Phillip West's neighbors and Minneapolis police said the homeless encampment was set up on the 2900 block of Fifth Avenue South on March 27.

“We are scared in our hearts. There were people on my porch at 2 a.m. and needles on the ground,” said one resident, speaking on condition of anonymity. “There's broken glass everywhere, and we have a lot of kids living on this block.”

The neighbor also told the outlet that residents had sent a letter to Mayor Jacob Frey, Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) Chief Brian O'Hara, and the City Council asking them to take action.

Since the camp was set up about two weeks ago, there have reportedly been more than a dozen calls to the location, including drug overdoses, stabbings and explosions.
