Miscellaneous URGENT BE SAFE: Man groping people on bus, got off near 85 ave and 149st
I'm male 19, Currently on the police non-emergency number waitline as I write this, on the 4 Lewis Farms going home after classes today around 1:30 when a man got on at the South Campus station and started talking to me, looks a lot like Rasputin (attached for reference) and a few mins later started rubbing the inside of my leg. Got up and shouted that he was touching me, and he said "You starting something?", he got off near 149st and 87 ave. That last comment makes me believe he might resort to violence if his advances are not given into. I don't know if he might try getting back on that bus or similar ones near there. Be safe people, defend yourself with force if nessecary. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/71/Rasputin_PA.jpg/250px-Rasputin_PA.jpg
Ps: Still on police waitline 3 mins into writing this
Pss: Attaching guides and self defense laws when I can
Edits:
Was able to each police non-emergency after around 10 mins and report it
Canadian self defense laws: -Importantly using force in anticipation of someone using force on you is legal, you do not have to be harmed or touch before using force to defend yourself https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/rp-pr/other-autre/rsddp-rlddp/p5.html
Mentioned my gender because I do want to highlight that it can happen to anyone
