Woman's Appeal After Being Groped Goes Viral

A woman's plea to help find a man who intervened when she was groped on a bus has gone viral on social media.

Kaitlyn Regehr wrote on Facebook that she was travelling on the 207 bus towards Acton in west London on Tuesday when a man grabbed her.

At that point, she said another man, whom she described as "the tall, dark, and dapper one with the beard", saw what was happening and spoke up.

She wrote: "Thank you for saying something when that man grabbed me.

"Thank you for insisting that it was not acceptable.

"Most of all, thank you for asking him about the women in his life, his mother, his sister ...

"You said, 'She could be your sister. She is someone's sister', and in doing so you made me a person.

"You made us a community."

Ms Regehr has encouraged people to follow the man's example and "say something" if they see such incidents.

She also wants to track down the "awesome dude" so she can buy him a pint.

The Facebook post, accompanied by a picture of Ms Regehr holding a piece of paper with the words "Thank you!" written on it, has been shared 22,000 times and received more than 42,000 likes.
