A woman was followed by an unknown man as she was leaving an MBTA station in Acton, Massachusetts, on Wednesday night, and investigators are now seeking the public’s help in identifying that man, according to city police.
Acton Police Department officers were called to Central Street near the passenger parking lot at the South Acton MBTA stop, for a report of a woman being followed.
The 58-year-old woman was “extremely alarmed” that an unknown man was following her at night, so she walked to the front door of a nearby home to seek help, police said.
The man involved drove away, got into a dark-colored sedan and drove off when the homeowner told him he was calling police, authorities said. The ordeal was captured by a Ring doorbell camera.
Police responded but were unable to find anyone in the area matching the description of the person or the car they left in, the department said. He described him as being about six feet tall and wearing a red shirt, tan jacket, and dark-colored shoes.
Authorities are working to identify and speak to this unknown man.
“It does not appear that any laws were broken during this incident, but one resident was extremely fearful and we would like to identify the other person involved in this incident in an effort to determine what their intentions were,” Chief James Cogan said. “I would also like to notify the community of this incident in case there have been other cases of this that have not been reported.”
Anyone with information has been asked to contact 978-929-7711.
