Body checks, spitting, slapping
All happening to young women who are minding their own business by complete strangers. Hard to believe there isn’t some forum or telegram chat out there encouraging this.

Glad they included that, it’s really iffy ground to start doing stuff like that and the Police aren’t thick either.
Hopefully not happening. But seeing as it’s LBC we can doubt the accuracy of this. (Note the bit where I say I DONT want it to happen)
I don’t get why people would do this to anyone going about their day running. I don’t see any comprehensible intent behind it at all.
Pepper spray should be legal imo. It incapacitates without causing permanent harm, making it ideal as a self-defence weapon, and criminals intending to harm would likely choose a different weapon (and even if they did choose to use pepper spray, they would do so regardless of the legality).
Seems like common sense to me.
I think there’s been a huge rise in this sort of thing because of social media. Body slamming of women originated in Japan some years ago, and it’s caught on here. Whole thing just very sad. Why can’t men just leave women alone.
I’ve been a member of the running community for about 15 years, I’ve seen this happen, I know one young female athlete who someone attempted to abduct. I’d usually recommend a running club (because people tend not to pick on groups), but I know four adults I’ve either personally witnessed groom, or be convicted of grooming teenage athletes of both genders. I once went home from a training trip in tears because I’d watched an adult man try to groom 3x 15 year old girls by threatening to kill himself, then the coach in charge get angry at me for disrupting his game of jenga when I tried to report it. We sorted it ourselves.
If you’re a young woman (>18) please look for over 18s running clubs. I’ve recently joined one as I’ve moved areas. There are so many good men out there but it’s a really small minority that ruin it for everyone. Parkrun is a great event if you’re unsure where to start.
I run quite often, and see female runners out quite a lot. I’ve yet to see one attacked in all my years doing exercise, spitting, shouting or doing any physical act on women simply exercising is reprehensible and disgusting.
Crime, abuse and attacks on women on the rise, but no one wants to look at the large difference in culture and views on women that many coming to our country hold.
I’d rather keep British women and girls safe, than take in the worlds problems.
Do what the cyclists do – wear cameras, get video, and *get out of there*. Give video evidence to the police, and if they repeatedly do nothing then publish the video to video-shame them.
You want minimum confrontation, they probably think they can get away with it because they think themselves stronger than you. If they do it in a place you feel safe then loudly call the disgusting cowards out – ***but stay safe***!
It’s happening in tower Hamlets. I think we all know the reason why.
