A New York City woman has shared her horrifying spring break experience, describing how a man wearing no pants followed her and her friends into a Miami Starbucks and masturbated for several minutes while looking straight at them.
Halley, a college senior, called the ordeal ‘the most horrifying, traumatizing thing of my life,’ sharing details and footage of the man on TikTok.
She recounted how she and her friends stood frozen and terrified as the man masturbated to completion in the store before following them outside and continuing to watch them with his hand down his boxers, touching himself.
When the group got up to leave, she said, the man ‘sprinted’ after them down the street while they desperately called 911.
Finally, she said, police found them and managed to subdue the man with a taser.
‘He’s clearly very mentally ill, and I assume on drugs, and I’m just glad we got him off the street so he doesn’t do that to other girls, but he did just give me a little bit of trauma,’ she said

‘I’m gonna share this story as a warning to other girls,’ Halley says. ‘Cause I’m gonna be honest, I thought things like this didn’t happen to people, and they were made up — but it’s real.’
She says she and her friends stopped by a Miami Starbucks on spring break last week when they were targeted by the man.
‘As we walked in, this man from behind us ran in front of us, cut us off, and opened the door for us,’ she says, adding that she didn’t think anything of it, assuming he was being a gentleman.
‘There are like 30 people in line, but me and my friends had mobile ordered, so we just walked over to the mobile order counter and waited there.
‘I then noticed that the man who opened the door for us is standing right behind us at the mobile order counter. He hadn’t ordered anything. And I notice he was not wearing shoes.
‘Literally just socks and boxers. No pants, no shoes, just standing behind us. And I realized his hand was in his pants.

After they walked out, the man followed and walked up to their table, his hand still down his pants. They immediately got up to leave, but he chased them
‘I really wasn’t paying much attention to it. I’m from New York City, I see a lot of weird s***, so I was just like whatever. I really assumed the best for him, and I was like, he’s just waiting for his drink as well.
‘About five minutes later, I turn around and I see this man with no pants, no shoes, still standing behind us, and his hand is still in his pants.
‘I then start to pay a little more attention and I realize that he is jerking himself off,’ she goes on.
Here, she cuts to video showing the man in Starbucks, standing by himself without pants or shoes and moving his hand rapidly inside his boxers.
Halley makes it clear that the man was staring directly at them.
‘At this point, me and my friends are literally in a corner where we can’t move, we’re waiting for our drinks. I’m so scared to say or do anything because I don’t want him to put his hands on me or assault me,’ she continues.
‘I am like eyeing the Starbucks workers, like, “Please f***ing help,” no one’s doing anything.’
Meanwhile, they were on the phone with 911 ‘begging them, please help us’
When the man saw the police, he ran in another direction, but they managed to catch up and tase him
A Starbucks representative told Daily Dot that ‘alerted to the customer’s behavior,’ store employees called authorities immediately.
‘Me and my friends are just standing there frozen solid, terrified,’ Halley says.
At this point, another young woman started recording the man and screaming, ‘You’re f***ing disgusting, get out.’
But the man just stared her down, and Halley says he eventually ‘finished’ and semen was ‘dripping out of his pants.’
‘At this point, I’m so scared. He’s gonna start swinging, I’m not ready for this, so I sprint out of the Starbucks. Me and my friends go outside,’ she says.
‘While we’re sitting outside, the Starbucks people just let him walk outside, follow us, sit down at this table, and continue.’
She cuts to another video showing the man standing near a table a few feet away, his hand still down his pants.
‘He’s clearly mentally ill, and I assume on drugs, and I’m just glad we got him off the street so he doesn’t do that to other girls, but he did give me a little bit of trauma,’ Halley (center) said
‘I was already traumatized, but this is where the story takes a turn for the worse,’ she says.
Halley and her friends immediately got up to walk away, but the man continued after them.
‘As we’re walking away, he chases us. I’m not trying to exaggerate, he liked chased us, literally chased us,’ she said, adding that they were ‘legit sprinting’ away.
Meanwhile, they were on the phone with 911 ‘begging them, please help us.’
‘The cops, as we’re sprinting, kind of drive past us, we try to wave them down. They end up stopping in front of us and they see the guy,’ she says.
When the man saw the police, he ran in another direction, but they managed to catch up and tase him — which Halley also caught on camera.
‘He’s clearly very mentally ill, and I assume on drugs, and I’m just glad we got him off the street so he doesn’t do that to other girls, but he did just give me a little bit of trauma. And this is just a PSA to stay safe, ladies!’ she concludes.
