Seattle police were called to the city's Dr. Jose Rizal Park on Beacon Hill Friday after witnesses reported seeing a homeless man there who has been banned from all city parks for a decade.

Multiple people said they spotted Steve Irwin at the end of last week in an area full of brambles and brush right in the middle of the park's off-leash dog area. He is the same man who is linked to extensive property destruction at the park with an excavator last year.

Seattle police told KOMO News in an email that officers responded to two 911 calls reporting sightings of the 42-year-old last Friday. One caller said he appeared to 'be high' and that he was not supposed to be in the park. But when officers arrived, there was no sign of Irwin.
