“The same thing happened to me at Zig Zag track with the same man, like a good few years ago now.”
Another commenter claimed the man had a history of confronting people in the suburb. The commentator said his own wife was among those to had been targeted.
“Pretty sure this is the same guy that walks the Titirangi area and is known to have occasional outbursts/weird confrontations with others, particularly women.”

Acting Waitematā West area prevention manager Inspector Nick Salter said police were aware of the post and had since spoken with the man about his behaviour.

Salter encouraged anyone feeling unsafe to contact 111 in an emergency or report any suspicious or intimidatory behaviours to 105, online or via the phone.
