I was walking down East Dulwich Grove (towards Lordship Lane) on Tuesday 6th at 13:35 when a man came out of Thornecombe Rd and headed towards me. I had a sense that he was going to approach me, but put it down to paranoia. As he became parallel to me he almost turned around and grabbed me in between my legs. It lasted a matter of seconds and he then ran off into the housing estate, not before stopping and having a look back at me. As you can imagine I was pretty stunned, but felt it was serious enough to call the police who were there in a matter of minutes. We drove around the area but with no luck. He was a tall white man, about 6'2", spiky mousy hair, he was wearing all beige-beige sweat shirt and cambat-like trousers, he also had sunglasses on. This was a very bold attack on a busy rd and I am concerned that not only will he do it again, next time it could be in a less busy area and therefore more servere, please keep your wits about you!! The police think that he was probably a local man as he would have had to know the estate.

I have just read the thread about the 'jogger', does sound similar, thanks for pointing it out...i have asked if the lady could give me a description. Peckhamrose, thanks for the message-i'm ok, just makes you realise you're really not safe anywhere or at any time of day!
Think you should be sorry to 'quibble' actually, i was trying to describe the angle at which he made a grab for me which is quite difficult in writing...the 'almost' which seems to be causing you a problem was meant by the way he was at a near parallel position (maybe just past me) and seemed to 'almost' have to turn around to grab me. If someone was to grab you in between the legs would you quibble as to whether this was an assult or not!?
Look, I've said I was sorry and I truly am. It just wasn't written too well and it was an easy mistake to make. There have been "phantom" things written on here in the past and I just thought it may have been one. Once again I am very sorry and offer you my sincerest apologies. I hope that the police catch this bastard before it happens again. And, well done you for reporting the incident. Not enough people do.

Me too...


Gosh I feel so sorry for you. I know everyone else has said it, but I do hope you are alright (and that they catch this b@stard). In a way I hope it is the same person...God forbid that there should be two such perverts. Urrrggh, you must feel quite sick.


Big hug xx

Noosh I hope you are doing ok. What a horrible horrible experience. I know it's been said before, but well done for being brave enough to report it. That kind of courage makes it all the more likely that this person will be caught before they do anything worse. Good for you.
JL.. I posted my response at the same time you were posting the apology...it's fine, can see how it could of been misinterpreted but it is difficult to describe in words his actions...which all happened very quickly! It's nice to see people's concern, I'm fine thanks, just thought it best to share especially as there are so many schools nearby. Thanks again!

Oh God, poor you. I cannot believe something like this can happen during daylight hours in a residential area. This guy is a complete sicko and the police must have some knowledge about who he is. Hopefully he may be someone they are aware of through the register kept for people who have previously committed these sorts of crimes. They better get this guy before he does anything more serious (no intention to lessen what he has already done!).


My thoughts are with you. You are probably still in shock and may find that it hits you in a few days time. Please speak to Victim Support if you can. If they are not able to offer you support and advice they may be able to signpost you to another organisation who can.

they need to catch these pervs quick!! seems like theres too many loitering around here, not a nice thing to experience for anybody...

its actually quiet scary as i have a teenage daughter who goes to school locally.... theres every possibility he could strike again!

good to hear ur ok though!

Hi Noosh we live an increasingly violent world I would suggest you join a self defence class, one of the martial arts so you can defend yourself should the situation arise again. Doing this will give you increased confidence and you will be less likely to be attacked, the outcome could have been a lot worse.

Poor you , how absolutely horrible and I hope you feel comfortable out and about very soon.


I don't think she really had an opportunity to defend herself as such and I don't agree with the statement that we live in an increasingly violent world. I think Noosh was just very unlucky, I'm not saying we should not all be careful but your post raymond (to me at least) sounded a bit scary.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
