A man called police to report he was harassed by three Comcast workers. The man, a resident of the 3800 block of Home, said when he tried to enter his alley, he saw Comcast trucks blocking the way. Initially, the man said, there were no lights on the truck, so he honked his horn. At that point, he said, the amber lights on the truck nearest him went on, but the truck did not move. The resident reported he got out of his vehicle to ask one worker when the truck would move. The worker, who was talking on a phone, stated he was working there, and reportedly advised the man to “back back the f@#%ing way you came.” The resident asked to see the worker’s identification. He said the worker told him, “I ain’t showing you s@#^.” When the resident walked to the front of the truck to get its identification number, he said, a second man, wearing wire-rimmed glasses, exited the truck. At this point, the resident said, he left to avoid further confrontation. He said he telephoned Comcast but was told to make a police report. Police located the three workers, ages 32, 29 and 29, and asked them what happened. They admitted a man had attempted to drive into the alley and could not get through, but denied any altercation. The complainant reported the involved Comcast truck’s ID number was #14243.
