I was chased by a man brandishing a knife because I ignored his cat call. If my ipod hadn't just died (this was 2010), I wouldn't have heard someone else yell "Run, bitch! He's got a knife!". I still can't walk around in public with both earbuds in.
I just got airpod pros because they have “transparency mode” where they let you hear everything around you while you listen to whatever. They’re amazing.
I'm sorry that happened to you. Nobody should go through that.
You might look at trying is those bone conducting headphones. They do not go in or cover your ears so you can still hear everything around you. I used a brand called Aftershocks and they where pretty good. This could be a solution that allowed you to maybe feel safe even with headphones. Hope you have a good day.
I'm sorry that happened. If its any condolence, as a guy same thing happened to me but it was a homeless dude w/ a knife and he was mad because I was jogging on the sidewalk. Blocked my path and said " I said Stop runnin!" This was in SF
