Kaohsiung Woman Pushing Stroller Followed, Flees into Art Studio for Help; Two Reports on Same Day Suspect Same Person

On the evening of October 13th, around 6 PM, a frightening incident of a woman being followed occurred in Sanmin District, Kaohsiung City. A young mother was pushing her stroller home when she noticed a strange man staring at her in a dark alley. When she turned a corner, he followed. Realizing something was wrong, she quickly entered a nearby art studio for help and called her family to pick her up. The victim later said she was trembling with fear. The local village chief stated that two reports of stalking were received on the 13th. While it's uncertain if it was the same person, based on the victims' descriptions, the possibility of the stalker being the same man cannot be ruled out. News of the incident has caused anxiety among nearby residents. The village chief has notified the district police to increase patrols in the area and has reminded residents to be vigilant through the community's group chat. It's understood that the woman being followed was alone with her stroller, suggesting the stalker might target women and children alone at night. Fortunately, the woman was alert and sought refuge in a staffed art studio, immediately contacting her family, thus preventing the situation from escalating. In response to such incidents, the police urge the public to remain calm if they notice they are being followed while out. They should immediately head to a crowded, well-lit area or a nearby business for help and call 110. It's advised not to go home rashly or confront the individual directly, to avoid the perpetrator discovering your residence and bringing danger home. It's also recommended to travel with companions at night, avoid secluded alleys, and always be aware of your surroundings to ensure your safety and that of your family. Everyone knows who's tailing people, why are you covering their face? Is this really meant to make us vigilant? 🙄
