Police have warned a man living in a sewer beneath a Baltimore neighbourhood after complaints he chased and harassed children.

A man living in a sewer beneath a residential area in Baltimore County has been warned by police after complaints that he chased and harassed children. Unique Wiggins said her family's ordeal began when her children reported being confronted by a stranger living underground in their neighbourhood. At first she dismissed their claims, but after her children complained about the encounters on at least four occasions, she investigated herself and discovered the man living in the sewer.

Wiggins confronted the man directly, telling him to leave her children alone. When he suggested the children were bothering him, she responded that this was not possible given his location. She told local media that the situation has left her family frightened for their safety.

Police were called and warned the man, offering him housing services. He reportedly declined these services. Police said they cannot evict him from the sewer system because it is public property. Wiggins called for the county to take action, suggesting Baltimore County place no trespassing signs and cover the holes to the sewer system.
