Circled by men on those illegal bikes while they demanded I lift my top. Police literally saw them and didn't give chase.
I'm supervisor of a shop in England. We normally close up in groups of 3 minimum but we had a vomiting bug going around and I ended up having to lock the store by myself at 9pm.
When I left to walk to the bus I was surrounded by a group of 4 men aged maybe 16 to 25. It was very hard to tell because they were wearing full face balaclavas with just their eyes showing.
These men then began circling around me on their bikes and demanded I lift my top for them. I was grabbed a couple of times on my chest and had my bum slapped/squeezed, but swatted their hands away and cried for help.
I eventually made it through a gap and ran to a well-lit safe place and called police. When I heard the sirens I ran towards the officers and interrupted them while they were still in their car.
They confirmed that they were responding to my 999 call.
Then I saw the guys again about 100m up the road looking at us. They weren't even running, just lingering on their bikes. They started jeering in the distance.
I told police and ran back to safety to hide. From this place I was able to watch the police talking to each other in their car and then driving off.
I got a crime reference number that evening and was asked to go to the station. I gave a full report, but the police never made any attempt to challenge or arrest them.
Is this normal behaviour for the police? To literally just take my statement while the criminals are jeering at the person they were harassing?
I ended up having to take a taxi home just to make sure I didn't get attacked again at the bus stop.
