Reply to comment by shamudawhale3 in Anyone in Shaw/Mt. Vernon Triangle been followed by a homeless guy? by shamudawhale3

I am almost certain this is the same guy who was sleeping under my building's covered (but open) parking area. Def a short young guy, but his hair adds a few inches? He actually came across "friendly" to me but then followed me to my car asking for cash - literally hand on my door and super intimidating. I told him I'd get cash and come back and he backed off but one of the only times I've actually been scared living here.

Was it near the convention center? He was talking about his grandmother and sounded pretty unhinged.

3 blocks away; this happened a few months ago but I've seen the guy around the Giant more than a few times recently.

He’s dangerous. He won’t stop following you—I would recommend running.

I had a run in with this man about a month ago. The mention of the grandma reminded me of it! I was walking down M st. and he followed me for several blocks. He wasn’t aggressive towards me but I could not get him to stop walking alongside me. Luckily it was broad daylight and a very kind individual diverted his attention away from me and I picked up my speed and got away from the situation. A scary position to be in, glad you were also able to get away safely.
