A TikToker caught a disturbing incident following Chicago Pride Fest in late June wherein she attempted to stop an older man from leading away a clearly inebriated young woman.
"We followed them for a whole mile to the train station in Chicago last night after she grabbed me and her friend forced her away from me," wrote TikToker @p_xo98, known as Peyton.
The ensuing videos were disturbing.
@p_xo98 We followed them for a whole mile to the train station in Chicago last night after she grabbed me and her friend forced her away from me..
@p_xo98 I watched this girl try to get away from the man multiple times and her “friend” and the man would grab her and force her to keep walking with them.
@p_xo98 I’ll post a story time after this if y’all want me to, so I can explain the whole situation better
@p_xo98 There’s one more part to the video then I’ll post the story leading up to this
@p_xo98 Sorry for all the videos 😭 I didn’t know this would get so much attention.
Peyton, the TikToker, was confronted by both the older man and this girl's "friend," who, despite the inebriated girl's clear objections, was trying to get the girl to leave with the older man.
"It screamed just not safe," Peyton said in a following video, explaining the situation. "I think they drugged her and were just trying to hurry up and get her out of there."

After the police got involved, the older man was asked to leave, and the girl and her "friend" were allowed to go through. However, once Peyton said she didn't believe that the inebriated girl should leave with the other girl either, the police chased them up to the train.
According to Peyton, that is when she left.

No more information appears to be available on the safety and wellbeing of this girl.
Hopefully this is a story with a happy ending.
