The homeless man reportedly has had an alleged lengthy and violent criminal history, including viciously beating a homeless woman and stabbing a man in the neck.<\/p>\n<p>    Graden had moved to Washington from California three weeks prior for a fashion internship and was heading to the grocery store when she encountered the man. She was in the middle of vlogging about her day while walking on the street when she began talking to the homeless man, Alonzo Douglas Hebron.<\/p>\n<p>    She told Fox 5, who reported the alleged criminal history, that she wanted to help Hebron get off the street and turn his life around by helping him get documents, a trust for the money, healthcare, and permanent housing.<\/p>\n<p>    An unnamed homeless woman also claimed to have been attacked by Hebron. Video footage from a security camera reportedly showed Hebron putting a scarf over the sleeping woman\u2019s head and viciously punching her head and body for several minutes on the steps of the Foundry United Methodist Church on P Street. She woke up in the hospital after the attack. The incident was documented by the Metropolitan Police Department in June 2020.<\/p>\n<p>     EXCLUSIVE \ud83d\ude94\ud83d\udea8 Did you see that viral TikTok video of a college student interning in DC and buying a homeless man tea? The young lady then created a GoFundMe page for him that has now raised more than $400K. However, @fox5dc has uncovered the man has a lengthy criminal history. pic.twitter.com\/fCEYqvgQ7y<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Sierra Fox (@thesierrafox) February 7, 2024     \u201cI do not understand how a human being can act like this. He\u2019s a sociopath. He does not have a sense of remorse,\u201d the woman told Fox 5 on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>    The woman added that Hebron was known to be a violent and dangerous person among the homeless in the district.<\/p>\n<p>    She claimed that seeing the viral video of Hebron affected her emotionally.<\/p>\n<p>    \u201cI\u2019m an alcoholic in recovery. Last week was my 18-month anniversary, and the last two days, I came close, but I didn\u2019t because he\u2019s not worth it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>    She did, however, give the college student \u201ckudos\u201d for being a compassionate person helping someone believed to have been in need.<\/p>\n<p>    \u201cKudos to the woman who did this. She meant well, and I do applaud her for that. I know it was a lot of work for her to do so, but portraying him as something he just simply isn\u2019t\u2014\u201d the anonymous woman went on.<\/p>\n<p>    CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/p>\n<p>    \u201cWhy is he on the street? How many people does he have to hurt before \u2014 I\u2019m sorry,\u201d the woman said. \u201cHe will not stop. I don\u2019t know what they\u2019re waiting for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>    Hebron\u2019s criminal past reportedly includes stabbing a man in the neck during a fight, which sent him to prison for five years in 2012.
