“This not ok. Stop it or I’m calling the cops”.

I was on the R train in NYC last night. It was just me and this old guy in a suit and when the doors closed he sat right across from me. He was looking at his phone but I could tell he was taking a video of me. So he starts flicking his tongue at me and rubbing his groin. I instantly moved to the other side of the train and this asshole gets up and sits across from me again. I said, “This not ok. Stop it or I’m calling the cops.”

The next stop was coming up and he stood up to leave. When the train stops before he gets off he says, “Have a good night I’m going to jerk off to you later.”

This has to stop in NYC. With all of the harassment stuff going o I can’t believe this crap is still happening. I was so angry and frightened. I was glad I told him what I did but apparently he didn’t care.

Optional: What’s one way you think we can make public places safer for everyone?

Speak up.
