Followed and threatened on FHR

[Hickory]

I did wonder how long it would be before somebody clicked on 'read all other posts by..'

I'm not sure why you did, but yes, it's been a strange 12 months!

[PeckhamRose]

Very sorry this has happened and I would suggest you come to the next Police Ward Panel which covers that area I think (look on met police website or I'll post it later when I find it), and to the person who snuck in a sly attack on budgets for the artwork on the bollards: different budget, and I think they're worth the money for the small amount the artist was paid.

Secondly, there are cameras against shops I believe, but on a self defence level I would always recommend having something to hand ready. A paper for example can be rolled up. Keys can hurt if there's nothing else around.

I do hope you are okay and thanks to the couple for looking after you too!

Forget about the car keys the newspaper the torch they only escalate the situation. get yourself to the nearest people .in this case the herne the co-op si mangia would all have been open . I know the gut tells you to hurry go faster get home but slow your breathing think and consider other options

I think you were right though he was

Waiting for you to take out your phone

[Otta]

Can I ask roughly how old this "young guy" was? Are we talking nasty teenager (15 - 18) or young adult do you think?

Not suggesting that it would make a difference to how unpleasant the experience must have been, just wondering.

having something ready would only put you in trouble ,its called intent, ... the police should look at the cctv ,it sounds like this pond life has done it before .if he is clearly on the cctv then they could show it to other people that have reported the same or worse ,they might id him , christ its not rocket science is it ..... what colour was the bike?was he black or white , teen or older .cuts or not the police have to respond to any call they recieve.

Agree - there must still be people who are 'known to the police'

It's just politically incorrect for them to state it - but it will be true.

People should try and surreptitiously take a photo (only if they do not see your phone)- maybe they are goading you to get your phone out then they can snatch it.

That look awful it makes the road look very tacky indeed what a waste of money

[indya]

I have copied this thread to my daughter who regularly is on that stretch of road. I suggest people do what they an to publicise this. And yes, a complaint should be made to the police. I am sure the way they acted is not correct procedure.

[honeybee79]

I am horrified that the Police didn't consider it significant enough to pursue. I think you should go back to them on that. It sounds terrifying.

[JohnL]

Maybe Trident deals with this and the local police don't ? is Trident still around ?

Why would Trident deal with this? If the local police for some odd reason chose to refer on to trident then they would still be taking action rather than ignoring this woman in the disgraceful way they have. Either way Trident isn't really the appropriate department.

[JohnL]

Just that I remember a long time ago getting no response from the police

and it turned out they had an undercover operation going on.

It would be unlikely, I suppose - but I'd like to think something happens

behind the scenes
