Yes do report it. When my 17yr old goes out, I allow her to come as far as the Lane and ill drive and meet her at the bus stop. I don't let her walk down the residential streets alone. It's such a shame. Hope your daughters ok.she also babysits in the Dulwich area. It can be midnight before she is finished. I get out of my bed to collect her. There's no way I will allow her to walk. Better to be safe than sorry I always tell her. Once again hope your daughters ok

Just be glad you don't have a son, then, as he would be statistically far more likely to be physically attacked.

I was followed off the train at East Dulwich and I'm 26. Instead of going home I decided to go to Sainsbury's to buy wine (to calm my nerves!) so I could lose him and he wouldn't know where I live. I was on the phone to the police at the time as I was too scared to get home. They were really good and talked to me the whole time and would make sure that if I saw the guy again and he followed me then they would send some officers. Luckily I lost him but it's a scary situation and I do hope your daughter is ok! 101 police number were fantastic and if your children feel unsafe then call them. I felt I was wasting time, but it's better safe then calling 999 following an attack!
It is horrible when that happenes. I remember a few years ago when i lived in Camberwell and was mugged walking home with my friend - the police looked at CCTV and reckoned he followed us off the night bus. However on a lighter note a few months ago was was followed all the way along East Dulwich Road by a shifty looking man who kept looking at me and checking where i was going - i let him overtake me only to see he was waiting at the end of Solway Road (my road) bit spooked i carried on the 24 hour shop at the end of East Dulwich Road as i turned round the man had nipped in to Solway road and was relieving himslef against the wall - turns out he was desperate for a pee and was waiting for me to go past so he could relieve himself without me watching.
Did you check the possibility of cctv on the bus? The fact that there are cameras on the buses should be used to our advantage, especially in cases like these where you get young ladies feeling unsafe. Another thing, you mentioned that the guy is an 'asian'. Being a south Asian male myself, I've noticed that some of my fellow countrymen, especially the types with 'curtain style' hair as you described, have trouble when communicating with women. What happens in some cases is that the guy tries to either chat a lady up or strike up conversation casually, and ends up being a borderline sexual assault case. I don't mean to detract from the seriousness of the incident, but it is a valid concern I have being of that particular ethnicity myself.

    • 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.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
