Woman Harassed Outside Trilogy Nightclub – Heroes Step In
Just before midnight on Saturday 24 July, a 21-year-old woman was having a cigarette on Vernon Walk, right opposite the queue for Trilogy nightclub. Out of nowhere, a man she didn’t know crept up, put his arm around her waist, and groped her over her clothes.
Good Samaritans Intervene
Luckily, a group of about five people stepped in. The man quickly let go and vanished. Police describe him as a black male, around 5ft 11in, with a muscular build. He wore a long-sleeved white shirt and a red cap worn backwards.
