I know - our worst nightmare. But it needn't be if you keep
your wits about you and act fast. First try crossing a road or
turning back on yourself. If they continue to follow, assume your
suspicions are right and get help. Try pretty much anywhere
there are people - pub, bar, cafe, shop, service station etc or
knock on the nearest door where the lights are on. If the worst
happens and you think an attack is imminent set off your ila
Dusk alarm and run as fast as your can towards an area where
you know there will be people. Leave your shoes behind and
even your handbag if that's what he's after - you are far more
valuable than property.
