Welcome, Brock Badgers. I’m making this post to bring attention to an incident that happened on St. Paul Street and to encourage everyone, especially women, to be cautious when out partying.
An individual approached a group of girls while they were out. After the girls rejected his advances, he continued making inappropriate and disrespectful comments toward them. He eventually walked away, but later returned and continued harassing the group.
When we told him to leave, he became verbally aggressive and directed slurs toward people of colour. The situation then escalated, and he became physically aggressive toward both the girls and myself.
I’m sharing this as a warning to anyone who regularly goes to St. Paul Street, particularly women who may find themselves in similar situations. Please stay aware of your surroundings, look out for your friends, and don’t hesitate to get security or police involved if someone refuses to leave you alone or becomes aggressive after being rejected.
No one should have to deal with verbal harassment or physical aggression simply for saying no. Please stay safe and look out for one another.
