May 27—ALBANY — During a Christmas 2022 party in downtown Albany for the children from the Aspire Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities Clubhouse, a man who was asking passersby for money in a fairly aggressive manner was a cause of concern for at least two women, who requested escorts to their cars.
The ASPIRE official who was approached by the man also called the police.
