I (early 30s guy) was walking near my office in Midtown yesterday weaving through some people to cross 51st between 6th and 7th. Right before I got to the curb, some guy stepped backwards into my way. He was a big guy wearing all black with big sunglasses. He put his fingertips on my stomach to stop me from walking. I just shoved his hand out of the way and kept walking, giving him the stink eye as I went.
As I was walking off I saw that he was standing right near a man in a suit and a woman in a nice dress who were also watching me walk off.
It’s pretty low stakes but it was so weird that I keep thinking about it. He didn’t say anything so it didn’t seem like a scam. Maybe a bodyguard for the couple that seemed to be with him? Just a crazy guy on the street? Anyone here have some insight or even just a similar experience?
