In such situations, the most important thing to do is stay calm, seek safety, and report the incident. The Caldwell Police Department's post claims, "Harassment comes in many forms. It includes public indecency or public lewdness, both of which are criminal acts. If this happens to you stay calm and get to a safe place and call the police."
