Sexual Harassment on Bergen Street

The exact guy you described did the exact same thing to me around 2 weeks ago on Sterling and Underhill in the middle of the afternoon. In addition to yelling sexually explicit/rude things at me, he also actually followed me with his car, and then parked and followed me on foot down the street and tried touching me and getting close to me. When I confronted him, he also started screaming at me and became completely unhingeHe would not stop no matter what i did and no matter how much I told him to leave me alone and go away. He actually then turned it around, and started yelling asking why I was attacking him and that I should leave him alone. It wasntotally bizarre and scary. No one else was around and I was with my puppy, so I was trying to get away as soon as possible, but I feel like his car was like an old-ish /somewhat banged upToyota Camry, perhaps...4-doors. And yes, be on the lookout for him..he doesn't at all look the part, but if you run across this chunky, light/white skinned Puerto Rican guy, ID say 23-26 years old, with stubble, maybe 5'8-5'10, and he starts with sexual remarks, get to a safe location and if possible call police.

Call 911 immediately if he walks up to either of you again. Take video of the harassment as well. Sadly, it often takes extensive documentation to get the NYPD to do the most basic of police work.

Keep in mind some pharmacies and gun stores sell pepper spray.

Vanderbilt is the dividing line between the 77th and 78th pct.

The West side (toward Barclays), falls under the catchment area of the 78pct. [Joyjoy's incident happened on Carlton]

The East side (toward Washington), falls on the 77th pct. [naturegurl's incident happened near Underhill]

...so, I'd start with informing the Community Affairs Officer, or whoever is working the desk assigned to each.

Yes, a picture would be incredibly helpful. Print it out for them.

...readers could take a picture of people whom they think might be this guy, and PM it to naturegurl or joyjoy. This would prevent the chance of the "wrong guy" from being posted to everyone's eyes.
