second or so, The women were very much
frightened and started to run and scream,
and the man went in another direction.
1t was reported on the streets that be had
attempted to rape the women, but Q FUR
ther investigation proved that no such at.
tempt was made. Whether their screams

no bad intentions can not be known. The

where the occurrences have taken place is
a very lonely one and is dangerous.
