During one evening last week 2 young girls were followed up Overhill Road by a man who suddenly saw them and diverted his route to follow them.


Yesterday evening I saw a similiar looking man walking up Overhill Road from Lordship Lane, where he suddenly stopped in the direction that he was going, slowly crossed over and appeared to loiter without purpose as he looked down the alleyway that links Overhill Road to Melford Road. He then retraced his walk back to Lordship Lane in the direction that he orginally came from.


Later yesterday evening a similar looking man was seen glaring into a female friends car as she was parked at the entrance of the Melford Road alley waiting for her to exit the car, which she didn't.


Annyway even though he hasn't yet done anything, he could be an opportunitist.


He has been reported to 101 but I thought that I would let everyone know as I would feel awful if something did happen x


Description: Black guy, 5ft 8 - 6ft tall, age 20-30s, grey hooded top with another top over, dark trousers & on another day green trousers - Sorry not much of a description!

Someone with a dark brown skin and speaking accented English as Indian people do, but otherwise similar to the above, suddenly came and sat next to me on a park bench at the Horniman last Friday evening about 8.30 pm.

I had been enjoying the evening sunshine and the fagsmoke and attention was unwanted so I fled. He was very nervous and jumped up and went away too, I was worried he might follow me home but he did not. I assumed he was after a pick-up.


I think it most likely this is someone with mental health going awry, lonely rather than a sex pest, but the two go together sometimes.

I witnessed a mugging last Sunday evening at Langton Rise/ Wood Vale corner. Police were called etc and the suspect I saw fits the description mentioned above. Happened just inside the cemetery gates.


Poor victim was shaken after being mugged for his phone but sounds like it could be the same guy.


Be wary.

Yes Alice, please don't write scornfully on this as the person I described had an obviously intrusive manner and shaky nerves.

Any one else, including you and your children I trust, would have instinctively sensed trouble.

You're welcome dimples, 101 have given a reference number for it so that at least it's recorded in case anything does happen in the future.


P.S Sorry about the vague description but it's better than no description at all. (Also it was by this vague description & the location that he was hanging out at that the 3 different women recognised him from).

So, to recap - very suspicious behaviour rightfully reported. Violent crimes in the same area by someone matching the description. Still no police action! Maybe they are travelling from camberwell?! Or maybe they don't give a stuff, and we're all on our own. Be careful out there, people, no one to help.

scarey.'


Well, sneer all you like Alice. However, it is usually blatently apparent when something is not right. As flower said, "attention was unwanted". She doesn't specify, but why should she. I've had it myself. Person being nervy and strange and, more importantly,intrusive. It makes you feel you just want to get away. And when you do, you're relieved. But if, when you get up, so do they, you wonder what they're going to do next. All very rum, but when you get home you feel grateful. Maybe he's just lonely, maybe he's a pest. But why hang around to find out which one.

    • 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
