You are walking quietly down the street, and suddenly you see a man coming towards you with quick and purposeful steps. You think he must turn away at some point. But no, he goes straight towards you or knocks your phone out of your hand.

This scenario has been experienced by several people in Aalborg's Øgade district. North Jutland Police report that they receive complaints about what some call the "shove man" or "phone knocker" on social media.

- We have been told that a person goes around the area and intentionally goes into people. Even though the complainants try to go in a wide arc around him, he still manages to hit them, says police commissioner Simon Hjort Jacobsen.

The police know who the man is and have even been by to talk to him. But they have not charged him with anything, says Simon Hjort Jacobsen.

- He could certainly recognize the incidents, but beyond that I will not comment on what he said.

*Report him*

DR has also spoken to a woman who has experienced the man going into her three times. She tells that she has reported him to the police, but she does not want to come forward.

The aggressive man has been a topic of conversation in Aalborg for several months. On social media, many have also shared their unpleasant experiences with the "shove man" or "phone knocker".

North Jutland Police do not deny that the man may be charged in the future if there are more complaints.

So far, they do not think that one should be particularly concerned about moving around in the area, but Simon Hjort Jacobsen understands that it can be uncomfortable and intimidating to meet the man.

- Intimidation can be many things. Based on the conversation we have had with him, we have assessed that we can probably talk him down.

If others have unpleasant experiences with the man, North Jutland Police encourage them to report it.

- If someone feels threatened by a criminal act, they should of course contact the police, and then we will look at the case, says Simon Hjort Jacobsen.
