Helen, late 20s
2014
was walking alone in the afternoon. It was a nice sunny day in early summer, I felt safe at the time. I was ambushed by two men in their late 30s early 40s who ran right up to me asking me my name and shouting sexual harassment type things in my face. They’d blocked my path and I froze. Then one of the men grabbed my breasts while still shouting at me. I managed somehow to push him off me and ran, he managed to smack me on the bum as I passed him. I was terrified and then annoyed I’d not fought back. I was so shaken and it’s stayed with me ever since.
