Foot-Licker On Loose In Pittsburgh

Two Woman Say Men Approached Them

PITTSBURGH, 9:12 a.m. EDT June 26, 2001 -- Two woman claim that a foot-licker is on the loose in Pittsburgh.

A woman told police Monday that a man grabbed her ankle and licked her foot in downtown Pittsburgh.

Another woman said that the same thing happened to her last fall.

The latest attack occurred at 11 a.m. Monday near Centre and Sixth avenues. A man grabbed a woman and licked her foot and sniffed her shoe.

That woman told police that the man was white, about 45 years old, 5 feet, 9 inches tall and 175 pounds.

The woman who said that she was attacked last fall left work downtown and was walking to her car in a Strip District parking lot when a man approached her.

"Before I knew it, he was right behind me, dropped to the ground, grabbed me by my ankle and pulled it toward him," she said. "Just like the other lady -- sniffed it, licked it. Just doing weird things. ... He never said anything. The only thing I could do was get my foot out of my shoe and then I ran away. I looked back and he was just laying in the mud with my shoe."

The woman never reported the incident to the police. She said that she never felt sexually violated -- just strange.

When she read about the latest attack, she couldn't believe that there was another man out there with the same problem.

She said that she doesn't want to press charges if the man is caught. She just wants to put the incident behind her.

She should've reported him. There are some weird guys loose around here. In Columbus last summer, there was one who was using a squirt bottle to spray human urine (his?) on women who just happened to be walking through the parking lot . . . in the middle of the day!

Bet this guy wouldn't get anywhere near my feet after I've done poop patrol in the back yard barefoot. Once, I was surprised by a warm.... hm... never mind. You catch the drift.

Glad that the puppies are gone, much less poop to scoop!

If the guy continues with this behavior and isn't caught, he may become emboldened enough to progress to a more intrusive activity involving women on the street.
