Westwood Police Log: Strange Request in Route 1 Parking Lot

Westwood Police recently received a report of a suspicious confrontation from an employee of a local business on Providence Highway, according to police reports. 

The employee, who had been sitting in her car at a parking lot on Route 1 in Westwood, said she had elevated her feet out of her car window, when a man driving a grey Toyota approached her and asked her if he could kiss her feet, Police said. The man also offered to give the woman a tee shirt.

Police received the call on August 13 at around 1:37 p.m., and responded to the area, where they questioned a 41-year-old man from Wellesley in the parking lot of K&G Fashion Superstore at 411 Providence Hwy.

A background check revealed that the man works in Norwood, and has no history of partaking in such activity, and police believed it to be more of a cultural issue, according to reports.

It was not clear if the encounter took place in the K&G parking lot, Police said, nor was it clear what business the caller had worked at. 

No charges were pressed against the man, but he was told to leave the area and asked not to return.
