Predator in Edgewood Park Trail

This evening, a man on a motorcycle tried to attack me on the trail in Edgewood park. I always walk that trail, and today I was walking with my baby and a man on a motorcycle (i think blue and black? It had a bright blue light and was a louder motorcycle/moped sort of bike) almost hit me and my stroller as they drove by. I heard them yell something, then turn around and come back to me. He started saying something to me but it was hard to hear over his bike, but after a few times of me saying ‘what?’ He said ‘Let me grab that ass’ I instantly recoiled and screamed F*** no, and he started to drive closer to me and reached out to grab me. I started screaming and running away, and at first he tried to go after me but finally turned around and drove away towards the skate park.

This was unbelievably scary especially with my baby, and I did call the cops and filed a report. I doubt they’ll catch him but by the way he acted towards me it feels like its just a matter of time before he hurts a woman. He was hispanic with light skin, chunky, black short hair and a black moustache (no other facial hair, just a moustache). He also has a severe lisp, so he more so said ‘Let me grab that athhh’

If anyone happens to have info on this man please let me know, and please be on the lookout for him especially women! It is only a matter of time before he actually hurts someone, and only left after he realized my screaming was more trouble then it was worth. But he definitely was cotemplating following me when I started screaming and running away. Im never going on that trail again, which really makes me mad because its such a nice trail. I saw multiple other families there today as well, one just a few minutes before he tried to get me.

Be safe out there everyone!!!
