A Brooklyn woman says she encountered a masked man on a New York City street who suddenly chased her after she tried to avoid him. TikTok creator Maia (@maiashaki) described the alleged encounter in an August 2026 video and said she made it to a nearby building, where a security guard helped her reach safety.
According to Maia’s account, the man stopped about 6 feet in front of her. She said he wore a white hoodie, blue jeans, and a face covering that exposed only his eyes. She estimated that he stood about 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighed no more than 145 pounds.
