Woman called 911 after man followed her and exposed himself. Nobody showed up
CBC
"If you are a woman in Calgary, Alberta, this video is for you."
Those are the words of a young woman who posted a 53-second video to TikTok after being followed by a man in a truck who then exposed himself and masturbated in front of her.
The story was posted to social media by both the alleged victim and a woman who witnessed the aftermath and supported the stranger as she tried to get police to respond.
More than 40,000 people have watched the young woman's video.
Both issued warnings to other women who find themselves in similar situations.
"Called the police, waited 41 minutes, nobody came," said the victim, whom CBC News will identify as MJ.
Calgary police say officers met with the victim Friday and "the investigation is ongoing."
"We understand there are frustrations and acknowledge requests for more information regarding our response time in this instance, and we are working to determine exactly what occurred," CPS said in its statement.
Based on MJ's description of the incident, the man could be facing a charge of performing an indecent act in public.
On Thursday around 4 p.m., a man in a white truck followed MJ down Elbow Drive and onto Fourth Street S.W., cutting down alleys so she'd have to pass in front of his pickup.
On a fourth pass, MJ says he pulled onto the street beside her, rolled down his window and tried to talk to her.
MJ had her headphones in so she didn't know what he was saying but says she could see into his vehicle.
"He was fully unclothed from the waist down and was completely masturbating," said MJ in her video.
Across the street, Meaghan Walsh was sitting on a patio with her partner when she heard MJ scream.
