“I whipped around and yelled EXCUSE ME!”
Location: Carroll Ave and Flower Ave
Time: Daytime (9:30am-3:30pm)
I heard someone running up behind me, could hear his breath, I turned around just as he glommed onto the back of my body, pressing himself into me. I whipped around and yelled EXCUSE ME! I glared with at him with evil eyes and told him he needed to leave now, and he sort of sheepishly slunk across the street.
