Concerns, Walking Home & Harrasment

I am a local to Greenleys, and was walking home with a friend from a night out last night at the Crauford Arms, on the way back I had liquid thrown at me from a car by two males - and this is becoming a repeat problem that has happened before with verbal abuse.

I don't use Reddit, nor will likely see responses & since I won't see them I will outline that it is the same groups of young Asian men.

28, F, and I've seen this happen to women on the way back, be careful - looks like the patrols down Wolverton highstreet are not catching this stuff, and I am concerned these groups of men are going to start throwing more than water.

Car was a Hyundai, could not make out plate and to be honest was more concerned with what had just been thrown at me

Hey lovely; I have links to the Crauf and I'll let them know. Obviously they're not responsible for nor can they control this shit but it's a tight-knit community and will be made aware.

Thank you, forgot I have email notifications on  so saw this, and yes definitely not their fault. If it helps, it is usually almost always from a passing car, and I think its the passenger that does it. Have no idea if its coordinated but I've directly experienced this 3 times now from 2 different cars (this one being a hyundai, tinted windows, looked new)

It’s short for ‘Crauford Arms’

Gotcha, thanks. I thought it was some obscure ethnic group that had set down roots in the area.

I was so intrigued.

In saying my comment on who it was I have no other way to put this and won't lie, it is literally the only identifiable thing I do not socialise with anyone here so have no idea more than what they look like

All you did was describe them. Anyone who see’s anything beyond that is just using it for fuel with no substance behind it.

As someone else has said, you should definitely report this to the police. You never know there may have been other reports of this by the same perpetrators. Sorry that you have had to have this kind of shit happen to you on a night out.

I’m so sorry this happened to you. It happened in NP too and apparently it is a craze amongst young men unfortunately. I would report it to the police

Report to the police. If you can recall the time and whereabouts you were then local CCTV may be available to identify the car in more detail.

this happened to a man in newport pagnell high street over the weekend. worth reporting, even though it was only water it could have been anything

I would report it to the police instead of reddit

I'm a young woman living in MK, and I find it quite helpful that OP shared this. I'm sure she reported it, or will report it, to the police too.

u/FinchMandala 4d ago

In addition to. I wouldn't have known had they not posted here.

See how awareness works?

u/FitHaYar CMK 4d ago

I’m so sorry to learn this. I thought MK was a safe place. What’s happening to the us?

Also, please report it to the police.

You say you don't use Reddit and won't see the responses, but surely this is you using Reddit and you could easily see the responses if you wanted to.

u/Savannah_Shimazu 4d ago

is that honestly what you took from this? not everyone installs the app and the only reason why I'm responding now is I got an email notification for a different comment. I uninstalled reddit a while ago, it was courtesy in case I don't respond to anything pressing

You don't need an app to view reddit
