I was walking downtown alone at about 9:00pm. Just as I was about to cross the street, a man shouted animalistic sounds right into my ear. I, of course, jumped because I had no idea anyone was behind me (I have auditory issues). He then snickered to his friend and began to cross the street, while I shouted back at him and told him that he was rude. People began to stare in his direction. He then apologized numerous times and I again just shouted profanities at him. Other people on the street continued to stare at him.
