From Times Wire Reports
Four well-heeled women have told Pittsburgh police that a man accosted them, removed their footwear, then sniffed the shoes.
One woman said the man complimented her footwear as she entered an elevator and asked if he could have a shoe. When she refused, he took one anyway, then sniffed it “like it was a bouquet of flowers.”
Patty Cohen, 42, said a man kicked her heel and knocked off her shoe. He apologized, then grabbed it and smelled it.
