Houston woman spots naked man during afternoon run
The backstory:
Houstonian Jeni Delaney says she’s been running Houston trails for decades, and that over the years she’s had some scary experiences.
One of those happened this Sunday, when Delaney was filming content for her social media page.
Delaney says she was running down the Buffalo Bayou trail when a man appeared on the other side of an underpass, completely naked.
“I had planned out my route for nine miles, and I got under the bridge at the intersection of Allen Parkway, Memorial and Shepard, and I saw a naked man, but he also saw me,” Delaney said. “I was shocked, and I immediately turned around and ran as fast as I could up the hill, because I knew exactly where I was and how to get away.”

Nearly a dozen women have been targeted at parks and trails across Houston in the last four months. Houston Police have released a sketch and description of a man they believe is connected to at least five attacks. One of the victims told FOX 26 she hopes police catch the serial attacker soon.
This isn’t the first time that Delaney has encountered a naked man while on a run.
She says this marks her third one, but despite the frequency, she did not make a report.
“I did not make the report due to, just, I know that we have a lot of people in our city that need our help,” Delaney said. “I just felt like this. I didn’t know if this guy just had gotten lost. And maybe he was, turning around. I didn’t, so I guess I did feel scared, but I didn’t feel like I needed to call the police.”Â
What’s next:
Houston police says to report any incidents like these to local police.Â
