Glasgow Woman Warns: “I Was Followed Twice in City Centre”
Chilling Encounter at George Square
Glasgow local Abbi has sent shockwaves through social media after revealing two terrifying stalking incidents in the city centre. The first took place near busy George Square as she made her way to Buchanan Bus Station.
Abbi spotted a group of men sitting on benches. She ignored their calls but alarm bells rang when one “white Polish man” broke away and began trailing her uphill.
“He was calling out, saying, ‘Don’t be afraid, it’s OK,’ but he was following me. The rest of the group stayed at the bottom of the hill watching,” she recalled.
Though she escaped unharmed, Abbi warned, “This should not be normalised.”
Stalked Again in Queen Street by Men in G-Wagon
Just a day later, Abbi faced another nightmare. While walking on Queen Street, a large car – believed to be a G-Wagon – began trailing her. Inside were two men she described as “foreign” with dark features and beards, waving her to get in.
“I was terrified,” Abbi said. “They kept following, and I didn’t know what to do.”
Thankfully, a passerby stepped in, walking alongside her until the suspicious vehicle drove off. Abbi expressed relief but frustration over not being able to record the incident.
Growing Fear Over Women’s Safety in Glasgow
Abbi’s experiences highlight a disturbing pattern. Just weeks prior, a woman was sexually assaulted near Cowcaddens underpass, sparking outrage and concern across the city.
Glasgow Women’s Aid blasted the behaviour as “predatory” and demanded urgent action:
“No one should feel unsafe walking to work or school. We urge people to report suspicious incidents and call for more police patrols and improved street lighting in hotspots like George Square and Queen Street.”
Calls for Police Action and Community Vigilance
Police Scotland have yet to comment directly on Abbi’s reports but remind the public to call 101 or 999 if in danger.
Locals are rallying for more CCTV, better lighting, and visible police presence. One user wrote:
“These men think they can act with impunity. We need more CCTV cameras and patrols to keep the streets safe.”
Community leaders plan to address the issue in upcoming safety meetings amid rising public anger.
Abbi’s Powerful Warning
“Please stay vigilant. This is happening way too often, and it’s scary. These people have no respect for women. We need to talk about this and push for change,” she urged.
Her bravery has sparked vital conversations—but the message is clear: Glasgow’s women deserve safer streets now.
