Another neighbor named Tyler told ABC7 he wants Mayor Brandon Johnson to crack down on the activity.

"I think he's too lenient," Tyler said. "I think he needs to start being more aggressive with what's going on. I think he needs to add more police to the city, have them start doing something instead of just doing what they can, and I think they need to start nipping it and actually holding people accountable for their actions."

The video showed police responding to the scene, sending people running. However, the Chicago Police Department told ABC7 they have no information about the incident.
