“At Newport path/ mall area, a group of teenagers started heckling and harassing me. They tried to surround me and scare me. When I yelled that’s when they walked away. On another incident, my father (72) and I were walking towards the Mall and a teenager started pestering my father asking him to buy drugs, when he refused multiple times the guy started following us. I asked him to stop harassing us and a few people around me did the same, he then turned around and threw a big stone at me and started running. Several people were shocked”
