“The bouncer at the door just laughed.”
Location: Grand Central, Adams Morgan
Time: Late Night (12am-5am)
I was out on Halloween night at Grand Central with some friends. A middle aged man started following me through the dance floor asking me to dance. I refused politely but he grabbed my arm so he could continue trying to “persuade” me. I pulled free and waited for my friends by the door. On his way out to leave he stopped in front of me and started saying something I couldn’t understand, then when I looked down at my phone, he kissed me on the lips and ran out the door.
