Followed by homeless man

Hi, my girlfriend & I (wlw, 21&22) were followed last night around 11:30PM down a canal near junk yard golf. We aren’t local, not from big city style area and got a little lost. We walked past them once then turned around and one was on the path, as we walked past he zipped his coat up and start walking around a meter behind us. We started walking a bit quicker and he sped up too. Once we got the steps, we started to run as he was still behind us. He kept following us up the steps and down the street we ended up on. He only stopped /disappeared once we hit a group of people and eventually got to the main road. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced 2 men say under a bridge and then being followed by one? As we are both rather shook up since.
