“Dear PoPville,
I wanted to reach out about this article that was posted on 4/23.
On the same day, early Wednesday afternoon, that same man tried to assault me. I reached the Ward 2 office and they asked me to send an email about what happened, which I did on 4/24. Below is the email I sent:
On Wednesday, April 22nd at approximately 1:20 pm, I was finishing up my run on 13th and Massachusetts Ave, headed home to my home at XXXX X St NW.
I was on the southwestern corner of Massachusetts and 13th st, waiting for the pedestrian light to turn on so I could cross the intersection and finish my run. A shirtless man (white pants, dreadlocks, late 20s/early 30s) comes up behind me and is within inches of me. I tell him to back off and get away from me, he’s mumbling something and acting not right upstairs. He doesn’t back off, so I run to the median of Massachusetts Ave. He runs up behind me and tries to get on me. He’s crouching with his arms outstretched and looks like he’s about to either bear hug or grab me, so I yell at him again to back off. He’s mumbling something and at this point, I book it and run as fast as I can, heading northbound back to my home at XXXX X St. I look behind me and see the man is running after me, so I start zig-zagging on 13th street.
