Neighborhood Safety Alert: Sexual Assault by Man on Moped
Women walking/ running in Williamsburg, please be careful. A man followed me on his moped before assaulting me.
Last night (Tuesday, Aug. 18) around 7:54 p.m., I was running near Humboldt & Skillman when a man on a moped followed me for about half a block while riding on the sidewalk. He then came up behind me, reached under my running shorts, grabbed my bare butt, and sped off.
He continued down Humboldt and turned right onto Jackson. I tried to run after him to get a photo, but he was already too far away on the moped to get a clear picture.
I'm sharing this because the fact that he followed me before doing it makes me concerned this may not have been an isolated incident. Please be aware of anyone on a moped following closely behind you or riding alongside you on the sidewalk.
If anyone witnessed this around 7:54 p.m. Tuesday, has exterior/security camera footage along Humboldt, Skillman or Jackson around that time, or has experienced something similar involving a man on a moped in the neighborhood, please DM me. I'm particularly interested in anything that could help identify the rider or moped.
Please be careful out there.
