A sick creep allegedly moaned in a sexual manner at two young girls who had just come off a bus in north Dublin before chasing them down the road in a sick incident.
The frightening ordeal in the Coolock area could have been much worse if it wasn't for a hero taxi man who saved the duo in their early 20s.
The brave driver spotted the danger, collected the girls and dropped them home free of charge but not before they had ran for their lives down the quiet northside road.
One of the girls told Dublin Live that she recognised the pervert from around the area.
She said: "The two of us were coming home off the bus last week when it happened.
"We passed him by at one of the shops and he started moaning at us sexually and being incredibly inappropiate.
"He asked us where we were going but we just ignored him. But that's when he started chasing us and we just started running away."
She flagged down a taxi and begged him to take her and her friend despite the short journey from the bus stop to her house.
"It's only about ten minutes but he continued to run after us even after crossing the road and was constantly behind us and really close the whole time.
"I waved down a taxi and told the taxi man what was happening and he dropped us up to my friend's house no problem and free of charge.
"He said he knew straight away the person who was bothering us which makes me think it wasn't his first time doing something this sick.
"I apologised that the fare wouldn’t be much but we just needed to get away from him and the taxi man was so nice, he dropped us to the end of my friend's road and didn’t charge us anything at all."
As well as the taxi man, the girl also admitted that she recognised the man's face saying "I know his face to see but I wouldn't know him personally".
She finished by warning others: "Everyone be aware when walking around late at night especially on your own.
Dublin Live understands that Gardai are investigating the suspicious approach and are looking to speak to the taxi man or anyone who may have witnessed the incident.
