Things that make you go hmmm ... Philly police say they're investigating an alleged foot fetishist bribing a boy with soda in exchange for photographs of his feet at a Center City skatepark.
An 11-year-old boy told police a stranger approached him on May 10 at 25th and Spring Garden streets and offered to buy him soda if the boy let him photograph his feet. The boy agreed, the man snapped pictures and then they parted, with the man asking the boy to return the next week with his friends, police said. It's unclear if either party returned.
The boy described the alleged offender as black, age 30 to 60 years old and 5-foot-7 to 6-foot tall. He had facial acne or some other skin ailment and wore a black T-shirt and Army-style green pants. Tipsters, call the special victims unit at (215) 685-3251.
