A campaign to stop the abuse of female runners in Bradford has revealed some of the harassment they face.
Police in Bradford say they have been inundated with women sharing their experiences of the abuse they have received while out running. As a crackdown on the behaviour continues, officers have vowed to stamp out the unwanted attention for good.
"When she caught up with him at the lights she knocked on the door and said 'do you have something to say to me?' It found that more than two-thirds of women surveyed had experienced some form of abuse but had not reported it to police. "Ultimately we want to stop this type of behaviour so people actually say, 'no it isn't just a but of fun and we're not going to do it anymore'."
While Mrs Khan has welcomed the campaign as much-needed she said more education was needed in some communities to tackle what she called a "cultural stigma around Asian woman seen out running."
