Fear from flyers in the Gentilly area
TREME, La. (WGNO) — Recently, flyers have been placed on cars warning people of targeted attacks on women in the two block radius of the Treme One Stop on North Villere Street and Esplanade Avenue.
On the sheet, it states that two men have showed up in the past several weeks harassing women, following them and even grabbing them.
Some people who walk this street regularly say it's shocking to read this message.

'Oh, this is surprising [to] me because this is the first time I've seen it. I don't walk at night, but other people walk coming from work and stuff. This is real scary,' resident Cassandra Taylor said.
Some say this neighborhood is usually pretty quiet, and hearing of attacks like this happening around here is unusual.
'I think there are things that happen all over the city. I think it is surprising cause this is a very tight-knit neighborhood too, and we all look out for each other. Yeah, it's a little surprising,' resident Vivian Hava said.
