I was asking because I had a bad incident near the blue bike stand between Bromley Heath and Jackson Square station - a guy from that project racially abused and punched me below the ear near the blue bike stand there at 6:30pm on a Sunday

Maybe it was a one-off incident, that too maybe because it was near Bromley Heath. But I always want to ask about a place's safety now before I venture out alone

>if you're alone

Is it really unsafe to walk alone? Asking cuz I'm alone usually. However, I avoid walking alone past sunset

I am a new student at Northeastern University.

Currently I live on Mozart Street in Jamica Plain. Is it a safe area? And how about the stop and shop around there? I have heard that Jackson Square isn't safe because its adjacent to a public housing project that has a bad reputation for being a dangerous spot, which is why for commute I take the bus from Perkins Street.
