A local businessman is asking Cleveland’s city council for help to stop massive crowds that he says congregate with their cars and motorcycles nearly every weekend, blocking the entrance to his parking lot.

CLEVELAND, Ohio - Just a couple of weeks ago the businessman, Mohamed Shady was put in a chokehold by a man who got angry when Shady asked him to move his car.

The problem is the cars block the gas pumps and scare off customers who want to fill up their tanks or grab a drink from the convenience store. The businessman says he has tried to work with the neighboring bar by asking the owner and the security to urge their customers to move their cars and bikes. He said in many cases, the drivers refuse to move their vehicles.

The businessman himself was also a victim of the growing violence, telling 19 News he was attacked and put in a chokehold in his own parking lot when he simply asked a man to please move his car.
