Ok so all of these happened very late like three or four am. First one was this really terrifying homeless guy who popped out from in-between two parked cars on a dark street while I was on my bike. He grabbed my handlebars. I screamed ( I'm a middle aged woman). He twisted the bars to tip me over and ran away. I actually knew him from seeing him on the streets. Psychotic behavior, about six foot nine, Charles Manson appearance. I had actually bought him a burrito months earlier. Months later I saw him with an impeccably groomed Bichon Frise, obviously not his.
Second one was also on my bike, four am Sunday morning after the Saturday night Halloween stuff. I saw three guys to my left as I was approaching an intersection to turn left. They were super sketch .They saw me and my trajectory and started running to get to me as I was turning in front of them. One grabbed the edge of my coat. I screamed Leave Me the FUCK alone and thank God I ride a lightweight super fast Italian road bike because I was able to get away with pretty amazing people instant acceleration.
Third one was a guy across a parking lot who for whatever reason felt like he needed to kill me and started screaming " I'm gonna kill you fucking dyke bitch I'm gonna kill you fuck you I'm gonna kill you." I went into the vietnamese restaurant I was headed to and he came to the door but I think all the other people eating caused him to go away. He was probably mentally ill.
There was a guy also on top of an freeway overpass who was obviously insane and when he noticed me waaayyy down the bottom of the ramp walking towards him he stared at me and started yelling at me for the whole maybe four minutes it took to get up top of the overpass. I was on other side of street. There were no safety fences so he could have easily run to me and tried to toss me on the freeway if that was his plan. I just tried to keep my wits got past him and once I was off the overpass basically ran up a super steep hill I was so adrenalined out. I thought of turning around and backtracking when I first noticed him but I knew if I did that I would be walking in a worse area, with an even steeper overpass and add about another 45 mins of walking.
