Unhappy Corner of 13th and Moore- BEWARE

This morning as I was walking on Moore towards broad, I was approached by 4 black boys- looked to be around 15. They grabbed me in the rear and tried to corner me but I ran. They were all wearing huge coats and looked suspicious. I am filing a police report today, if you see anyone looking like this please report them!

Just curious - what time of day did this go down? Anyone else on the street to witness/help out?

Glad you're OK. Did they have weapons? Were they grabbing for a quick property theft or for other reasons?

Thanks so much! No weapons- they were kids. I'm thinking high schoolers or younger. Happened around 8am this morning - and no there was not a soul in sight of course! They were grabbing for me- not to steal- but to scare me and violate me (smacking my butt, etc).
I filed a police report, and was told that officers are going to patrol that area for the next few days. The cop actually thanked me for calling, because so many people do not when this happens!

Default huh?

Be on the lookout for four black teenagers in oversized coats? Are you serious?

Sadly, that's all I see on every block. It's a shame, but there is nothing to distinguish "these" thugs over here from those "guys" over there....

Garmex,

Yes I realize they look like that. I guess it's better to not say anything and let other people get abused by these kids. You should keep your mouth shut if you have nothing helpful to say.
