In a tense scene Thursday, the city towed away many of the vehicles that have crowded a lot at a sprawling homeless camp near downtown. Campers were handcuffed. Then the mayor showed up.
ByTow truck operators on Thursday remove a box truck that Madison Greenewald had been living in. The truck was impounded and Greenwald said she was not allowed to retrieve her belongings before it was taken away.
The towing — expected among camp residents for more than a week — started just as ice pellets were starting to fall on a raw October day. Cold puddles filled a pockmarked lot where a collection of vehicles had been growing since the spring, when the city shut down the large shelter at Sullivan Arena.The people living in the vehicles said they were frustrated and angry that their dwellings were being carted off to languish in impound lots.
Police officers stood by as private tow truck operators hauled away vehicles people had been living in.

He said the visit wasn’t planned. They had been at a separate homeless camp at Cuddy Family Midtown Park and had driven by Third and Ingra, noticed the tow trucks and decided to stop, he said.
