A Louisville-area woman has a warning for runners after she said she had a scary encounter earlier this week.

The woman, who did not want to be identified, told WLKY that she was running Tuesday morning between Cherokee and Seneca Parks.


While there, she said a man on a bike pulled up close to her before getting off and running after her.

She said she then called 911 and stayed on the phone until the man left.

Now, she wants to make sure people are aware of the dangers of running alone.

"People need to be on alert because if I had heard a week from now someone was attacked here and I didn't say anything, someone else's story might not be like mine," she said.

Metro police have confirmed they are investigating her call. The woman said she will no longer be running alone.
