East Northport, NY

An East Northport man allegedly followed a teen for some distance yesterday, May 27th, 2020. The teen was reportedly walking in the vicinity of Pulaski Rd. and Larkfield Rd. for exercise when the man began to follow him. The teen started to take a roundabout route to try and get away from the man, but he kept walking after him. The man reportedly yelled various personal questions towards the teen, such as "What's your name, man?," "Where you from?," and "When's your birthday?"

The teen, who asked to not be identified, said he did not bump into the man anywhere; rather, he started following him at an unknown point. Eventually, the teen crossed Larkfield Road and the man went in a different direction. The teen and his parents said that although they did not feel that the situation warranted police action, they want peoplet to be aware of the man. The man is described as black, approximately 6'4", 250lbs, and frequently walking along Larkfield in a Minnesota Vikings jacket and New Orleans Saints hat.
