As a man you can only imagine what it’s like to be a woman, to always have to worry about the constant creeps that lurk in the shadows. When this woman in New York was walking home, three strange men began following her. Instead of freezing up, the clever lady grabbed the first man she saw and gave him a big hug while explaining what was going on.

It’s appalling that women even have to go through stuff like this!

This woman was being followed by 3 suspicious men, so she hugged a random guy and he walked her all the way home

Dane Weeks was just minding his own business while walking to a friend’s house in New York City when a scary situation unfolded. A woman he had never seen before, walked right up to him and hugged him, she then whispered something in his ear.

“I’m walking to the train a few minutes ago and a woman walked right up to me and gave me a tight hug and whispered quickly, “please act like you know me 3 guys are following me for a while” I played along then walked her 3 blocks home. What an experience for the both of us.” Dane wrote on Twitter.

Once Dane realized what was going on, he knew he took that route for a reason

Dane doesn’t even usually walk that way, but distracted by his phone he just happened to take another route.

“Whats crazy, I rarely walk down this block. I normally take one way to the train but the way I took is when I walk my dog. I guess my distraction of me watching the debate led me down that path I rarely take to the train. So I guess I was meant to there at that particular moment.” He wrote.

Dane walked her all the way home, they exchanged numbers and he offered to walk her home any time

“We exchanged numbers, I told her my boyfriend & I would meet her at the train anytime if we’re home. The route she have to take home she has to walk under the train tracks, no other way, plus its dark. She said she would call again, I hope she do. I will call tomorrow to check in.”

The kind-hearted man even called her to check on her the next day and posted an update to Twitter

“I spoke with the woman. She couldn’t thank me enough. I also thank her for bringing me into the world of women. Apparently the 3 males was looking at her on the train. When she got off, they got off. They followed her 2 blocks, she then went into a store for a few minutes.” He wrote in the update.

It was Dane’s smile that made her feel comfortable

“She saw me, and noticed I had a smile on my face looking at my phone and that’s when she knew I would welcome her. She apologized, she felt how shock I was at her untiming hug. I told her I thought it was a set up at first, she laughed because she said thatd new york mentality.”

The good samaritan even met her 5-year-old son and spoke with her mother who both thanked him

“I met her 5 year old son, who said thank you Mister. I spoke to her mother as well who was thankful for me being there. I told her the offer still stand if she ever need someone to walk her home from the train station. Her mother was definitely grateful, some nights she work late”

It’s so unfortunate that these types of things even happen, but it’s a reality that we must face. Everything happens for a reason. Thankfully, Dane happened to take the wrong route and was able to be there to protect this terrified woman!
