I was walking home from a friend’s house and a guy began yelling abuse at me. I just tried to ignore it and carried on, he then followed me and yelled, “Excuse me!?”
Stupidly I turned around and the guy flashed me. I was so scared at this point, so I just carried on walking quite quickly to get to my house.
Later on in the day I met a friend of mine and we went to the police station to report it. I thought my area of town was pretty safe but it can happen anywhere I guess. Felt empowering to report it!
