NEW YORK, A homeless man in New York City was evicted from a spot he had made for himself inside the Manhattan Bridge by NYPD cops on Thursday.
When he was given the boot, Joe was forced to leave behind Chinese cookies, a gas heater, hot sauce and beer.
The raid on Joes lair was conducted when a city worker used bolt cutters to remove a red bicycle lock from the wooden shelter while 12 officers looked on.
When cops yelled Police department, Police department, they got no response, so Emergency Service Unit officers began using a saw on the structure.
Thats when Joe, who was dressed in white pajamas, emerged.
Hes fine. Hes fine. He didnt answer. No one got hurt, thank God, a senior officer told the New York Post.
Joe was taken to Bellevue for a check-up.
Thats amazing! I didnt think he was in there. When I saw his legs pop out, I was like, Oh [expletive]! said another officer.
Kind of an urban survivor man?

"They don't know I'm in here sleeping... Even with the barbecue going outside, chicken wings grilling, people just walk by. They don't see it as a home."
