That's never happened to me before

lovingbothLast night, just as I'd walked across the railway bridge, some man 'indecently exposed' himself to me - he had his penis out and was masturbating, asking if I wanted 'any of this'.
I ignored him (I was on the other side of the road) and called the police when I was around the corner.
Odd location - in no way is it a cruising ground, it's a reasonably busy walking route. My guess is that he had some mental health problem, meaning I was more sad for him than pissed off / scared.

(It will have had zero trouble from the police. I don't think I can remember when one was last raided in London - probably the 70s, if not the 60s.)
I think he needs help, and unfortunately, I can't just dial a mental health team and get someone out there to check him out. On the other hand, the police can and do make referrals.
So I don't think it helped me, but it may have helped him.
