Peterborough police have issued a warning to the public after a man followed and accosted a woman on Saturday afternoon (December 9).
At around noon on Saturday, officers were made aware of an incident where a woman was walking her dog in the Euclid and Trent streets area of Peterborough, south of Parkhill Road East and east of Armour Road, when she was approached by a man driving what was described as an “old-style” black SUV.
The man then followed her on foot, grabbed her hood, and told her she had to come with him immediately. The woman’s dog intervened and bit the man. The man then followed the woman in his vehicle to Caddy Street, where he eventually drove away.
