Walk across the street. I'm not being condescending or victim blaming you, I promise. Walk across the street, don't be alone or if you are be extra cautious, be in well lit areas.

I say walk across the street because if they follow (and im talking about serious jaywalking, make it where you absolutely know for certain if someone is following you) , you'll know really quick their intentions. If they follow on a crazy jaywalk, if you can't make a scene (as in stopping a car that's driving, or going into an establishment), run to the closest place that is safer.

I've been robbed at gunpoint in 2 cities and neither were Baltimore, it's not just a Baltimore problem; it's a big city issue.

Take care of yourself and be more alert. It might still happen if you're more alert, but do your best to decrease your chances of it happening. I hope I didn't come off as crass, I am genuinely sorry that happened to you.
