I was coming back from my gym around 12am and he was parked in my area a bit from my house, he noticed my car and began following me. He drove in front of me and then went to turn down the road which leads to my road.
I purpose drove straight on then saw him indicating to go straight, I then turned on another road and unfortunately was a dead end. This time he is flashing me, I turned around and he tried to drive into me.
I then went around him and drove off. He continued to follow me and drove in front of me again.
It was all a game to him and his friends but I wad alone and scared and acting erratic I could of crashed
When we got to traffic lights he put his window down and was screaming OI
which I just ignored and drove off he left me after this.

I quiet shaken.
I knew him for about a month, went on one date. Never nothing sexual
I cut him off because he stole money from my bag when I stayed at his house
I told him not to ever phone me again

I don't understand why he did this? I have a rare looking car so it isn't hard to know my car and he knows where I live

Do you think he will do this again or is it a one of to show off in front of his friends?

When I mention the roads and area it is one big area and one long long road not a short one. I don't think he was waiting for me I think he just saw me on a whim

Sounds scary. I'd give the police (non emergency) a call, get it recorded and ask for their advice and support. Hopefully it was just a one off, but if it develops into stalking best to have a record.

Yes tell the police. It is theft and stalking. The police are the experts. They’ve dealt with these situations many many times. They will have the best advice.

I would also log with non emergency police. If he does it again you've got proof that he's done it before.

Definitely tell the police. If he’d just driven past you and done it on a whim then I’d say it was a one-off but it sounds like you are saying he was waiting for you. On that basis he might do it again (although you said he had friends in the car so presumably he’s young and might have just been showing off?) so you’ll want it recorded. If it happens again, call the police as it’s happening. If possible, driving to the local police station or to a hospital or hotel where you can get help/security.

Trying to work out how he knows where you live when you knew him for a month but only went on one date yet you stayed over at his house and there was nothing sexual about it.

Call 101 and tell them.
Did you get the number plate of the car chasing you?
Report him for harassment and for stealing from you!

Reddlion · 05/01/2018 10:16

I didn't want to report because i didn't want any back lash but I don't understand why he did this my friend said he was probably showing off as well bit it was scary I ended up trapped down a blocked road at one point it wasn't nice

I don't have his plate just know the car and the area he lives in

Well if you won't report to Police what can you do to stop him doing it again? He does it because he can and is allowed to by you.
