At 10:30 in the morning, a woman went out for her usual run in Kent. A man on a bike came up right behind her within arms reach, she told him to move but he stayed close. She then looped the block to shake him off, and he was waiting at the bottom exactly where she'd finish.
This is becoming far too frequent. Women should be able to go for a run in broad daylight without fear.

Update here:
🚨 UPDATE 🚨 Thank you to everyone who has shared and amplified this post.
@kent_police have now been in contact with me via DM asking for more details.
Thank you to @GauciReports who reached out to the woman in the video and she has confirmed that officers have now visited her to take a statement.
It's deeply concerning that it has taken a social media post to be shared by many for Police to take action on this.
Women should not have to rely on social media pressure to get basic protection and a response.
We need systemic change so these incidents are treated seriously from the start.
