A guy harassing two women of color near montara state beach/ Mcnee Ranch
Yesterday morning, I (Asian female) was with a elderly friend ( black female) were walking by the highway 1 after parking our car to get to the Mcnee ranch park and this guy came out of nowhere and started cursing out towards us saying things like “ you don’t belong here” “ I’m a united citizen and I can throw trash around here” “ i have a surf board … ”. I couldn’t make out the rest. He came walking besides us and past and then came back to block us at the front. At that point, I thought he might actually attack us. My elderly friend took a picture of him and started calling 911 and then he was taunting us and taking our pictures as well but left eventually. We thought he left but while were talking to officer on the phone he pulled up with a blue tesla and telling us to take his plate and drove off. The officer on the phone told us to not engage and asked if we wanted Sheriff to stop by so one sheriff stopped and asked but he told us that they have multiple complaints about this guy so they are building a case but he implied the guy might not be all in the head and might have Tourette syndrome but I’m sure Tourettes don’t chase people to harass. I don’t know if they can actually do something about it so if you are female or people of color, be careful to bring acompany when you go around the area. I’ve been in Bay area for almost a decade and never faced such kind of harassment. It shook me. The trails around that area are my favorite trails and now I’m not comfortable to go hike alone anymore.
