All - today, around 2pm, on Waldram Crescent, I was putting out our bins for tomorrow’s collection, from our bin store, when I was verbally abused and spat at 3 times by a middle aged man who was walking along the pavement. There was no provocation for this abuse and he was extremely aggressive. I have reported to local Police, but please if anyone else has experienced a similar situation today, or indeed any other time, report it.
I am so sorry to hear this has happened, as will everyone reading this. When something like this happens you want to feel support from your community. I send you my best wishes so you know that we are a community and we do care. And you did the right thing to encourage anyone to report anything similar or related.
That’s terrible, sorry to hear that. Do you have any other details for a description?
Black male, middle aged, brown eyes, greying hair and no taller than 5ft 8. Dressed in a light coloured coat. He was heading towards Dartmouth Road/lLondon Road direction. Seemed to have mental health issues. Wanted to let people know in case his violence escalates beyond spitting and if he is known in the area. Main concern is he knows where I live as I had to go inside to get away from him and he stood outside for a period. Police incident number received and waiting feedback.

Thanks for all the extra info. I doesn’t sound targeted as such, so hope you are not too concerned about him coming back.
All the same I can imagine that was a rather scary experience, and I am glad you have reported it. He is probably known to the local SNT. Might be worth reaching out to them for a little reassurance.
