okay
I'm a bit shaken, heart racing
just called in an assault I heard and saw next to the train station across the road
husband followed after he put shoes on
guy dragged a woman away
cops came within 5 minutes ,
we heard her scream again and the cops went to chase them down
no other neighbours came out
bad people come to quiet places π
Thankyou for what you did. I hope she's ok, and I hope things quieten down for you π

cops came so quick
I used the metro emergency system at the train station, they are well trained and so fast
I think the attacker followed or waited for a target near the train crossing at the station to drag them to the dark park
Is this the red button?
Good on you for calling for help.
yes, there is a red button, a blue button and a speaker
there was no one else around
the victim was most likely the only person who got off the train
it's a very quiet area,
the screaming was very loud
Holy shit. I hope youβre okay and that she is too
I'm fine,
I hope she was found, one cop chased on foot crossing the railway line, the other took the car
Thank you for taking action - that must have been so scary
I wish I was strong enough to intervene, all i could do was call for help
I know thereβs a strong inclination to jump in and help (and good on you for wanting to), but itβs actually better not to put yourself at risk, because then you might be injured too
yup, he might have had a knife
Holy shit. Calling for help is awesome. I would not have thought that area of town at all unsafe at this time of night (I am a Westie too) π² that's scary.
Makes me glad I live VERY close to train station in a well lit area. But still.
Fuck. Damn good time ..,
Thankyou for being brave enough to act β€οΈ
Omg that is terrifying. Good job you might have saved someone's life!

Thatβs terrifying. Hope you are ok. Your quick actions may have saved her. Hope the police were able to track down and intervene. Unfortunately, bad people are everywhere.
