Horrible. She reacted very bravely - I used to just get scared and run away when things like that happened.

What a cunt. Hopefully he'll have been caught on CCTV so is potentially identifiable.
Hope the woman is OK.

Oh my god the level of bullshit here is high.
There’s a kind of doubling-down that happens in situations like this, a kind of sunk cost fallacy that takes over. The dick has invested so much, has demonstrated such high levels of devotion that he now cannot back down. He’s shown her how courageous he is, how he’s prepared to put his life at risk for her by crossing the tracks, and she’s shunned him. He has to go on showing her that he’s big strong brave confident ballsy alpha high value man. He can’t take no for an answer because doing so would minimise the highly valuable efforts he’s demonstrated.
On some level he knows (of course he does) that she can’t possibly accept his advances. (And he knows that if she did, she’d immediately become a slut, a whore etc.) But he also believes he’s the ballsy tough alpha who would protect her from predators who would hassle her on a train platform late at night, he’s demonstrated that by crossing the tracks for her, putting his life at risk for her.
It’s so fucked up. When he said “let me have my say….” she paused, to allow him that. And he couldn’t come up with anything, because he knows he’s fucked it up. It wasn’t the romantic dramatic gesture he intended it to be, it’s creepy predatory bullshit.
In his head no doubt it’s her fault for assuming the worst, being defensive, making it out to be something it wasn’t, exaggerating, being hysterical. Showing him in a bad light. All he wanted to do was ask for her number

If anyone knows the identity of this young man, who was at Bruce Grove London Overground station 20 October 2023, perhaps they could simply notify British Transport Police as soon as possible:

Absolutely the need for station security. Completely unacceptable for this to be allowed to happen

I saw this on TikTok the other day. The woman being accosted did remarkably well handling the situation but she shouldn't have had to do so. The part where he reaches inside his jacket and says he'll follow her made me shudder.
Here's the thing though. These encounters are not as rare as we would like to think they are. There are tons of videos out there of women being pestered by entitled shitcunt men on public transport. I just....I don't know. Obviously I hope the man is caught and all that soon but tht does little to stem the flow of men thinking they're entitled to a womans attention or worse.

I was just about to say that this is really REALLY standard and really REALLY common. Are people really surprised by this?
ETA And not just on public transport.
Focussing on the important point as ever. Seriously.

Wish I was as perfect as you.
i used to get the attention of dodgy men quite a lot when travelling around London on my own. Usually just ran away, which is a perfectly valid response.

Sadly enough, you're completely right. I think I saw maybe 8 or 9 videos of women being harassed on public transport but I have no doubt there's tons more out there. Men really do need to do better here. We need to call out this behaviour when we see it at a fucking minimum.

What an absolute cock. Hope he gets what he deserves.

More likely to get done for trespassing on the tracks than hassling women, sadly.
Predatory twat. It’s a shame he didn’t slip and land on the possy rail or have a close encounter with an oncoming service.

It's made the national news so hopefully someone will be able to recognise and shop this piece of shit

Sad that only one woman tried to help her.
Outrage as man climbs over live train tracks to harass lone woman at station
Footage shot by the woman shows her repeatedly telling him to stay away as he follows her along the platform and downstairs to the exit, threatening to take her phone away

Not good but lack of intervention can often be the bystander effect.

As a male, it makes me hate being a male.
Lumped into that pool of utter cunts.

It’s the stories of people just standing by, not intervening, that makes me particularly angry.
Really? The men (and it typically is men) who're doing it in the first place make me particularly angry but hey.

I can't get involved.
I did once. Got 200 hours of community service. I've got 67 hours left. I can't stand up for what I think is right because I might go to prison if I do.
It's not fun. It's not right. But cunts are gonna cunt. I have to literally watch shit go down and not he able to do anythingm it's so hard.

I get what you’re saying and it must be teethgrinding agony to have to stand by.
But you can get involved.
This stuff doesn’t come out of nowhere it’s part of the whole edifice.
So get involved elsewhere. Talk to other men. Have conversations with your brothers. Call out the small stuff. Raise awareness.

Would love love to.
But when I do they are all "but you punched someone".
I fucking give up. And I bet I'm not the first to either. The cunt men win.

May be of interest, I've not enrolled yet myself to be completely honest so can't speak to how useful it is - but the Suzy Lamplugh Trust offer a free online workshop on Anti-Harrasment bystander training:

To be fair the kind of guy who walks across train tracks can be the same kind who pushes you onto them.
It can be scary to stick your neck out.
Yes. Thank God he was just hassling a lone woman, eh?
