Unfortunately, many women can identify with this viral incident...
Tik Tok user Brandon Robert has gone viral after he shared a video in which he witnessed a woman being harassed by a man in a store.

Brandon, who very quickly noticed this uncomfortable reaction, pretended to know the woman to divert the man's attention - and it worked like a charm.
In what seems to be filmed at a grocery store, Robert is seen approaching the woman in the store and pretending like she is an old friend. The relief from Brandon is welcomed by the woman, who pretends to be in the know of who and what Brandon is talking about, as if they have been friends for years.
Robert then mentions that his aunt was in the store with him and invites her to hang out with them. Not missing a beat, the woman replies with, "Really, aunt Claire is here?"
Chilling!
After the two walk away from the creepy man, Robert and the identified woman chat softly about just how 'creepy' that man was.
Buzzfeed managed to chat to Brandon, who shared this:
It was not hard to see that she needed help, she also looked really young. My instincts just kicked in and luckily she went along with it, and we could get her out of that sticky situation.- Brandon Robert
