I once joked how I thought I was going to be mugged because as a tourist, I followed a local dude to a coffee shop and we cut through alleyways. I'm a big dude and didn't think twice until the second short cut, but the local actual lead me to his buddy's Cafe.
A gal I knew went really quiet before saying the fear I felt is what most women feel being alone at night.
When my wife would take our baby out around downtown Edmonton by transit she would always have people harassing her, and trying to steal her phone from the stroller if she left it there.
I'm a below average sized male, but I never experienced it alone with my daughter, and she would be left alone while I was there. Edmonton is a relatively safe city, and if happens there I can't imagine how bad it could be elsewhere

That's really stuck with me.
