“On Friday 18th February I was followed by a man that was in his early 60s, 5ft 7, blue eyes, pale skin, bald on top with grey/brown mid hair on the sides - he has a similar look to Jimmy Saville.

“Long blue parka coat with a fur hood.

“If you see a man of this description please do not approach him!

“He followed me onto the 178 bus from Lewisham to Kidbrooke Park road.

“Then followed me off the bus opposite Cator Park and chased me.

“It was night with very few cars around and [I] was fearful for my life!

“However, I am lucky, a lady driving with her children saw the situation and pulled over to let me in and drove me to safety.

“If this post ever reaches her, I cannot thank her enough, her bravery saved me from something unimaginable.

“We managed to take a photo of this man and he smiled and waved at us.

“To every woman and girl reading this - please stay alert in the south east London area.

“Please share to keep us safe.”
