After a string of attacks and robberies in the French Quarter, including a group attack an attempted robbery on Christmas Day, signs have appeared along some French Quarter streets urging pedestrians to find safety in numbers.
The signs, which read, "Caution. Walk in large groups," and "We (heart) N.O.P.D. We just need more," are the creation of a Governor Nicholls Street resident, according to a FOX-8 report.
The idea came after she heard the screams of a 43-year-old man who New Orleans police say wasrobbed and stabbed shortly after 10 p.m. Dec. 17 while walking in the 1000 block of Governor Nicholls, the station reports.
"It's just got everyone upset," she told the station. "You can't walk at night."
