I have to go back from my workplace by subway,and usually i get off at about 21:45pm.One day I came across a strange man when I walked out of the subway station,he came to me and asked for my cell phone number,Since the guy look very ferocious,I rejected,then he asked me where do i live,I kept silence.the stranger tracked me for a long distance,I'm very frightened that he wanted to know my address,so I stop my steps and told him if he continue to follow me ,I would call police,but he laughed and said that police couldn't help,for i had no evidences. NO people around,i was very frightened and began to run,he was raged,caught me and hit me on my arms,face...I call police then...

Sweatie, you go to the nearest police station and get yourself a little can of pepperspray. If that freak or any other man come near you again, you empty that canister on him. Believe me, he will know what hit him. If you cannot get any, always make sure to have a bottle of deodarant in your bag. The moment you get of that train, take out the can and keep it in your hand. Even deodarant can burn the living hell out of the eyes. You have to look after yourself. Do not let them imtimidate you. No one has the right to do what that man did.

Hi, rubyxia! Wow! That is very scary!!! I can see why you ran! He was very dangerous indeed! This man is a lunatic! I hope that you are okay after experiencing this! What happened after you called the police? Did he try to come after you then? I have never went through this. I did had a guy last month that approached me. He was saying that he wanted to get to know me. He said that he was married. I was trying to get away from him. He got out of his car and he came up to me. This was five in the morning then. I was checking my mailbox. I will never go out that early again! Please be very careful. Give the police as much details as you can about this man. And buy you some pepper spray. Keep this on hand as you are out and about. I don't live in the city, but after hearing about what you went through, I am thinking twice about living here. Do all you can to protect yourself and keep a close eye out on your surroundings! Stay safe and keep a cell phone on you always!

Oh, why do you off duty so late? If it's your working hour, then you should walk out with your colleagues. Why not let your male colleagues send you home/to the subway? It's more safty. And your male colleague are willing to do this. Haha! Take care, Rubyxia.

I remember during my secondary schools days their is a man whom I just set beside me in a public transportation then after i get up and pay my fare. he follow me and then I keep walking faster as if he could not follow me until I reach near the gate of my home. He suddenly run and talk to me asking many questions which i denied and I just warn him not to follow me or else i would call the guard and eventually he get out of my sight and my tricks works on him. Since, that he never disturb me. But their are stalkers on me who always call me on the phone which I hate to receive since he call in the middle of the night when all is asleep is really annoying.

You have to be careful nowadays. People have too many bad spirits in them now. I'm glad you are safe, and you need to continue to have someone pick you up.

i happen once, but the dude i think was going to try to rub me, it would been a bad day for him to rob me. but if that happens again run into a business, or yell fire. yeah yelling fire get more attention from others. but always to look around and see who and what is around you. one thing you can do is put your keys between your fingers and hit someone like that or kick them between thier legs. glad nothing worst happen to you

Good God rubyxia, if I were in your position, I would be too shocked to even leave my house for days after that horrifying incident This stranger sounds like a genuine nut-case. However, it is nice to know that the authorities have caught this weirdo before he can do any more harm to you.

That's scary. I am glad you are OK. I've been followed be strangers several times but I always manage to run away from them. I carry a knife in my pocket just in case and I am hoping that I will never have to use it.

Oh my God, it's really dreadful, hope it wouldn't happen again. One day, i have been following by a young man of my age i think. We wait the same bus and he didn't stop to look at me, at start, i find that cute. His face was nice, not like a killer or something. So when the bus come, we go into it and when i arrived to my station and walk to my house, i see that this man is following me, when i go throught another road, he continued to watching me and had said "hello" when he was behind me but i didn't answer because i was too surprise that he was always behind me. Then, i walk during 5 minutes and he was always behind me so i start to walking quickly and hide in an appartmen, wait during some minutes and see that he was gone away so i walk to my home. I was very frightened xD.He didn't look like a psychopath but i prefer to not talk to someon who follow me like that...

What a bad experience. Then what happened? My experience is different from yours in which this girl was a stalker. She keeps on sending messages on my cellphone and keeps on saying "I like you because you are cute", she even wants to meet me. I thought at first that this was a prank by my friends but it turns out she is real and likes to screw with people around. Because of her my friend and hi GF got separated. She keeps on screwing with people with names and getting information just to make some issues about you. She is very dangerous until now.

situations like you had are very common in my city.Ther bad part is that police and local authorities don't do anything. Honestly i can't even say ho many times a stranger came to me and told me to give him all my money cell phone. Thats why i choose not to go in places that seems suspicious to me
