Police officers and city sanitation workers returned to the homeless encampments at Tompkins Square Park in the East Village to clear out the area for a third time in three weeks despite Mayor Eric Adams' pledge to clear the streets and create 350 new shelter beds. The latest sweep took place on Saturday after NYPD officials requested the homeless remove their tents and leave the area on 10th Ave between Avenues A and B adjacent to the park.Officials had posted notices to clear the area days ahead, but vagrants were still in their tents and seen arguing with cops when the officers and sanitation workers arrived on Saturday morning.
