Dodgy man follows commuter

[MungoJerrysBeard77]

Hi all, my girlfriend got followed on her walk to East Dulwich station this morning. Anyone else had the same? She was walking down Melbourne Grove towards the station at about 9am, when a man crossed over towards her. She then switched across the road four times, and he did the same.

No have not seen this around here before. It might be worth a chat with the police because I guess there's a small possibility that they might recognise the description of the man or something.

Ask her for the description so we can look out for this oddity.

[MungoJerrysBeard77]

The police have been informed. Description: hood was up and went quite far in front of his face, white, about 5,9" wearing a grey puffer jacket. He had one of his arms in his jacket the whole time.

The one-armed man. Kimble is innocent

I was also followed this morning - it sounds like it was the same guy. He followed me for at least 15 mins from 8:30am down Underhill Road. He crossed when I crossed, stopped when I stopped etc.

I had originally intended to walk down Barry Road towards Peckham Rye, but this guy was really freaking me out, so instead I continued straight on down Whately Road and walked in to the Police Station. This was at about 8:45am. When I explained what happened, a police officer went straight outside to have look around but couldn't see him anywhere.

I reported the incident and gave a description to the Police

The top of Melbourne Grove is right opposite ED Police Station, so it sounds like that is where he went next.

Report this scary incident to the Police.

Hi Mungo, ekyv.

I'm glad to hear you both managed to get away safely. This is extremely frightening to hear as guy is obviously persistant & doesn't seem to mind whether he gets caught out in broad daylight!

I hope nobody else gets to experience this.

Stay safe.
