A man known as Bruno refuses shelter from volunteers despite freezing temperatures
First source report
A man known as Bruno sleeps under a canopy near a train station and refuses offers of indoor beds from volunteers when cold weather arrives. While volunteers suggest he move inside for warmth, he declines the shelter because he cannot sleep in rooms with closed doors.
Bruno, who previously spent time in prison, prefers to sleep on the ground under the open sky. He expressed to a volunteer that he could not see the stars while incarcerated. Although volunteers have attempted to provide him with extra blankets and heavier sleeping bags, he continues to sleep outdoors to maintain his view of the sky.
