Woman waits for her train at the bus station at 7 AM. Then a man allegedly approaches her and asks to kiss her feet: ‘Had to kick him in the head’

Wait 5 sec.

A woman waiting for her train at a bus station around 7 a.m. said a man approached her, asked to kiss her feet, and later grabbed her ankle after following her. Annalisa, who posts on TikTok as @annalisa.pdx, shared the account in a video that has gained over a hundred thousand views. In the clip, she appeared visibly shaken and said she was “literally f–king shaking” after just getting to work. The caption on her post read, “(i am okay now, ftr) not even gonna edit this i’m just so done.” Annalisa explained that it was barely light out and she was sitting on a bench with her coffee in a public area where a couple of people were around. She described the man as looking completely normal, dressed in a nice Columbia jacket and sneakers. He walked up near her smiling while she kept looking ahead, Annalisa said. He got closer and said, “Excuse me, miss.” She stated that she wanted to assume the best in people and replied, “Yeah, what’s up?” because he might be asking for directions. According to her account, he then asked, “May I kiss your feet?” Annalisa shared details of the police response after officers reviewed station footage Annalisa said she reacted with “what?” as he got closer and repeated, “Can I kiss your feet?” She told him, “No, that’s okay. Like, please leave me alone.” She stood up, repeated the request for him to leave her alone, and tried to calmly walk away to leave the area, but he kept following her, she stated. She described how he then threw himself down on the ground by her, not gently laying down, and grabbed her ankle. Annalisa noted that she is 5’9″ and “not a thin person at all,” yet he still went after her. She said she had to kick at him and “literally had to kick him in the head” to get him off of her while screaming at full volume for him to “get the f–k off of me.” Two men at the station watched or looked on their phones and did not do anything, Annalisa said. She then ran from him as he started following her again, and she screamed that if he followed her she would “f–k him up.” She stated that she was “shaking and I’m f–king scared” but had to be “big and tough because no one around me will.” Her ordeal is not unique, as another woman approached by a creep also had to take drastic measures to get rid of him. In a follow-up TikTok video captioned “update,” Annalisa said multiple people told her she should file a police report even hours after it happened, just to be safe. She agreed, noting that it would be good to have a record in case he tried to do it to anybody else. She called the police, who pulled up camera footage and saw him trying to assault her, she stated. Annalisa said she knew the officers watched the footage because the female officer told her “nice kicks” and the male officer told her to “kick him harder next time.” She responded that she appreciated the comments but “I shouldn’t have had to kick him.” The officers told her they cannot arrest him if they do not know his name, but they will go look for him, she said. Annalisa had earlier addressed people who say “it’s not all men,” arguing that “why is it always a man?” She said men are either doing it or letting it happen, and that until they are “physically stopping it, I won’t f–king believe you.” Being followed is a fear many women share, like when a creepy man followed a woman home after spotting her at a gas station. Some viewers left comments on the video. One wrote, “Why do men watch other men do bad things & not do anything? If I saw this happen, I wld try to help you!” Another stated, “NO ONE HELPED YOU???? that’s insane.” A different commenter said, “I’m assuming you called the cops? Charge him. WE CAN’T LET THEM KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THINGS LIKE THIS!” Another suggested, “Carry pepper spray and something pokey every where you go.”
