Pika questioned whether she should go over there, noting it was 'really late at night,' but then she threw caution to the wind. 

'F**k it. I'm from New York,' she said, running over. 'Girls supporting girls.'

The TikToker panned the camera to show a man with a black hoodie, black pants, and a mask talking to the young woman before she interrupted them.  

'Hey, girl! Girl, I was waiting for you in the car. Who's this?' Pika asked. 

When the man said they were 'just talking,' she asked him about what. That's when things got really uncomfortable.   

'Nothing, just asking her if her toes are long,' he replied. @pikanab

Both of the women laughed out of shock, and it was then that Pika put an end to the conversation by telling them they had to go.  

'Do I know him though?' she asked.

'Um, no,' the woman replied, sounding nervous. 

'I don't think I'm going to get to know him. Let's go,' she said, grabbing the woman so she was out of the man's reach. 

When they were hurrying away, Pika quietly asked if she needed a ride somewhere, and the grateful woman said she did.  

Thousands of people commented on the clip, with many telling Pika she was 'brave' for rescuing the woman.

'U just probably saved a girl from getting kidnapped,' one person wrote. 

'She sounded so scared when she said yes please,' another added. 'You did a good thing.'

'Now THIS is girls supporting girls,' someone else shared. 

While Pika has received plenty of praise, some naysayers claimed the video was staged — an accusation she firmly denied.   

'I don't normally respond to hate, but this is something that means a lot to me, so I am going to respond — one time only,' she said in a follow-up clip.

'I don't give a flying fadoodle cake if you think that video is fake. It doesn't matter. This is something that really does happen. I'm telling you it's not fake, but you're not going to believe me.'

Pika went on to share videos chronicling the times she has personally been harassed by strange men on the streets. She also gave an update on the woman, saying she is 'safe.'  

In another video, she answered viewers' questions, insisting she isn't brave.  

'In that moment, I was scared, too,' she recalled. 'But I was like, "Yo grow a pair of ovaries and go help her." So I did. But while I was helping her, especially when he said the toe part, my heart was going pitter-patter, pitter-patter. I almost threw up.'

Pika noted that she and the girl are not 'best friends' now, saying she merely dropped her off at the bus stop before going on with her night.  

'She's still a stranger, and plus I helped her,' the New Yorker explained. 'She doesn't owe me anything. She doesn't owe me friendship, and she does not owe me her number to become friends with.'
