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.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
