A 24-year-old Boston woman said she went into “she-Hulk” mode when she grabbed a man she said exposed himself to her while she was taking the train home Wednesday night, the Boston Herald reported.
“I was on my way home from work and this guy was just being a real creeper,” the woman, who did not want to be named, said. “I just noticed he was immediately staring at me and just kept moving closer.”
She said she tried to ignore him, until “all of a sudden I looked up and there was this huge guy staring down at me being a creep, and then I looked down and he had exposed himself and he was playing with himself.”
She said she started to scream but no one came to assist her. When the man made to get off the train, she jumped off and grabbed him with one hand while dialing police with the other. That’s when she went into “she-Hulk” mode and detained him until police arrived.
“I don’t know how I held onto him because he really tried to pull away and I was just holding on with one hand,” she said.
Local Fox affiliate WFXT-TV reported police arrested Michael Galvin, who has since been charged with open and gross lewdness. He’ll be in court May 30 and faces up to three years in prison if convicted.

Posted on April 22, 2012 at 9:21amDoc, that is the exact reasoning that led a screaming woman being assulted by a man to HAVE to hold on by her-self! Stand up and act like a HUMAN and not some little mousey type wimp.

Lesson #1: It sounds cool now, but someday, you may be a hero and get on television…but the only thing anyone will be able to think about is how weird that nose-piercing looks on an otherwise attractive young lady.

I don’t blame her for taking action herself but what she should have grabbed was his penis and twisted the damned thing off while he screamed for help.
I despise the disgusting, low lifes who do these things.

Posted on April 21, 2012 at 2:38pmPOSSOM – I respectfully disagree. By bringing these stories forward it helps to remind citizens that they are not helpless and standing up and defending yourself, bringing a pervert to justice can be done by ordinary people. In addition she does not appear to be a very large woman. It helps to give not just women courage, but anyone who is caught in a situation like this. The more these stories that are printed – it also lets the criminals know that people are waking up and refusing to just “take it” any longer. I believe they serve a useful purpose.
