The source also points out that they have witnessed the individual scouring the neighborhood — particularly around where Swift lives — “for a few weeks.”

A second source, who lives nearby, tells Page Six exclusively that they have also witnessed the same man “lurking here for a month.”

We’re told he’s been “sleeping on the stoop, chain-smoking constantly, shouting, and generally making everyone uncomfortable.”

“When he arrived before Christmas, my husband asked what he was doing here and he said, ‘I want to see Taylor,'” the neighbor claims. “He even had flowers at one point.”

The fellow resident tells us they called police “many times” but officers did not do anything until the man actually tried to get into the building.

“I asked him to leave this morning and he just stared at me, catatonic,” the neighbor adds. “Total nutcase.”

Our first insider says that once police arrived at around 1:45 p.m. ET in several patrol cars, officers spoke to the alleged stalker for “a few minutes before they cuffed him.”
