⚠️ Safety Alert for Prospect Park ⚠️
Hi everyone, we want to share a concerning incident that was posted in a local Facebook group to keep our community safe. A woman described a disturbing experience at Prospect Park involving a man who approached her, her sister, and her children while they were sitting on a bench. At first, he was singing and seemed harmless, but things quickly escalated. As they walked to the car park, they noticed people running around the park. The man then chased after them and asked for her 13-year-old niece’s phone number. The girl’s father confronted him, and thankfully, a friend was there for support. Despite many witnesses, including marshals of a running event telling him to leave, the man was aggressive and swearing. The police were called to the scene.
The person who shared this isn’t sure if this is the same individual who was reportedly chasing people in the park a few months ago, but they’re urging everyone to stay vigilant. Please be cautious when visiting Prospect Park, especially with children. Stay aware of your surroundings and report any suspicious behavior to the authorities. Let’s keep our community safe! 🙏
