“A man passing by touched me at inappropriate places”

I was jogging with my friend on a less busy road as it was holiday season. A man passing by touched me at inappropriate places. I was very angry and was swearing but couldn’t move to stop him. Now I wish I could have been more alert and perhaps tried to stop him or something. I feel angry over the fact that I didn’t do enough to get him punished.
