Did anyone else encounter two men behaving oddly in the Goodrich Road / Friern Road area last night around 10pm?


I was walking home from work along Goodrich Road around 10pm. An Afro-Carribean man wearing track suit bottoms and a hoodie (hood pulled up) was walking towards me. Another man of the same description was parallel to him on the opposite side of the street.


I was speaking on my mobile phone and I walked into the middle of the road to avoid the man nearest me. Both men passed me by, but, when I looked over my shoulder, I saw both men had turned around and were walking straight toward me.


I walked up the driveway of a nearby house. This deterred them and they walked off down Friern Road.


When I got home I reported this to the police in case the two men targeted anyone else. The police were round within 5-10 minutes and then went out looking for the men but I'm guessing it was too late.


I wondered if anyone else had a similar experience?

I had something similar in that stretch about 18mths ago - It was winter and dark although much earlier. I was pushing a double buggy with a small baby and toddler in and ended up walking in the middle of the road as I didn't feel comfortable - I think I had briefly been on the phone to say I was en route home!

Why would OS7 prevent this?

    • I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!
    • Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an  excellent job.
