Ignore them
Hasn't happened to me, but I've seen homeless try to get a moving car to hit them so they can get a lawsuit and bankrupt a hard working class member of society for free cash.

This happened to me.
I was driving down Market Street in SF many years ago. Homeless walks out from behind a bus and I hit something. Pulled car over to curb to find the homeless person lying in the middle of the road. I call 911 and go to attend. She gets up and walks to sidewalk. (Turns out she stuck her cane out so that I would hit it),
Then, two lawyers that I had never met starts yelling at me. "We saw everything, you are not at fault! If she asks you for anything, don't give it to her. Let the police handle." As I come to learn, they were talking so loudly so the homeless person could hear.
Anyway, homeless person asks for a ride somewhere, I refuse. Asks for cash, I refuse. Finally, she just wanders away.
Police, EMS, never show.
I will always be grateful to those two lawyers.
