An unidentified man with a cell phone and a burning desire to see up a woman's skirt had his perverse predilection precluded in a Park Slope supermarket this morning. It all happened around 11 a.m. in Aisle Five of the Key Food on Fifth Avenue when a shopper wearing a calf-length summer dress noticed a man following her as she browsed. The pervy perp, who wore aviator sunglasses, was described as "handsome" by witnesses, who tell the Post the woman caught him trying to take photos up her skirt with his cell phone.
The victim grabbed the phone out of his hands and started screaming, and in the ensuing "scuffle" she injured her shoulder, the Daily News reports. Then the sleazy suspect tried to dash out of the store, but three heroic Key Food workers intervened. "He was running but then he saw us coming and he just gave up and sat down," one employee told the Post, adding, "What a perv". Police came and took him away in handcuffs to the 78th Precinct stationhouse.
At press time, it was unclear if Key Food store policy permits three workers to share Employee of the Month honors at one time. But one modest staffer says, "I'm not a hero, I'd did what anyone would do [sic]." Cleaning up Aisle Five: all in a day's work.
