<p>Abdullah moved into the Palm Springs Boulevard building with his pregnant wife in June 2022, and they were warmly welcomed by other residents in the building. <br>However, he soon began receiving texts from his disgruntled downstairs neighbor, Li, who lamented over losing sleep and hearing the toilet seat move. <br>After months of complaints, Abdullah said he, his wife and daughter began feeling sick and dizzy. <br>&#8216;I look at my daughter,&#8217; Abdullah told <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.wfla.com/news/hillsborough-county/caught-on-camera-tampa-man-injected-opioid-chemical-agent-under-familys-door-police-say/" target="_blank">WFLA</a>. <br>&#8216;Her eyes were full of tears.

<p class="has-small-font-size"><strong>Neighbor&#8217;s hidden camera caught LI in the act leading to his arrest after injecting noxious chemical into family&#8217;s front door</strong></p>



<p>The family were baffled about what was causing their mystery illness, until a friend visited and pointed out an &#8216;obnoxious&#8217; smell in their home, Abdullah said. <br>He began investigating, starting by calling his air conditioning company, who found no issues. <br>Abdullah then called a plumber, believing the smell to be coming from his water heater, but that also came out clear. <br>His landlord even replaced the heater and had his air ducts and vents cleaned &#8211; but the chemical smell persisted. <br>Desperate to find out what was plaguing his family, Abdullah even called the fire department, but their tests drew a blank. </p>

<p>He became increasingly determined to find the source of the smell. &#8216;I was sniffing the place like a dog,&#8217; he said. <br>The sniff test led him to his doorway, where he found a small crack in the corner. <br>Only now beginning to suspect some form of tampering had taken place, Abdullah set up a hidden camera in a potted plant outside his door. </p>

<p>His daughter became sick again, prompting Abdullah to check the footage &#8211; and he was shocked by what he saw. <br>&#8216;We were shaking,&#8217; he told WFLA. &#8216;We can&#8217;t imagine that he is coming and doing something.&#8217;<br>The footage showed Li, wearing casual tracksuit bottoms, crouching and appearing to place something beneath their door. <br>Horrified, Abdullah adjusted the camera angle from door-level to eye level to catch what Li was doing in the moments before. <br>This time, his footage appeared to show Li extracting a syringe, filling it with clear liquid, and injecting it into the crack in Abdullah&#8217;s door frame. </p>
