history: I was walking home by myself when I was studying abroad in another country, and a man was following me and kind of harassing me verbally. Once I had a really scary experience where I was walking home by myself in a city where I was studying abroad_comma_ and a man started following me and verbally harassing me. Oh no. I would have screamed. Yeah I called a friend on my phone and talked to her. Thankfully I coincidentally ran into some other students that I knew and they walked with me the rest of the way. 
current: That's nice. No police were involved?
next: No thankfully it didn't come to that!
