No one has the right to touch you or grab you without your consent. It is good that your parents took you to the guards after this, as this is what we would recommend to do. 

It is also important to check in with yourself and see how you are feeling after such an experience. Have you spoken to any one since? Your feelings of feer are totally understandable and it is good to talk to those around you if these feelings ever get too big.
