Slideshow: Man With Foot Fetish Attacks Local Women | Video: Man With Foot Fetish Attacks Local Women

A man who has accosted five Center City women has an unusual method of attacking his victims.

Police tell NBC 10 that the subject of a manhunt in Philadelphia has groped victims' feet as part of his routine when he sexually attacks women.

A composite sketch of the subject was released earlier this week.

One victim told NBC 10 about her encounter with the man.

"When I walked to the door to put the key in a man put a gun to my side said if you make a noise ill blow your head off," she said.

She did everything by the book. She tried not to be alone, she had her cell out and keys were ready. But she became an armed attackers fifth victim anyway.

"He made me take off my boots, he sucked my feet, made me kiss him and groped me. He let me go and said if I told anyone he would put a bullet in my head."

The gunman's fifth victim has been speaking about her attack and she wants other women to be on alert and know even if you do everything to try and protect your self, he can still strike.

Police say the man has struck five times never in the same place, but his MO is the same. He finds a woman, early in the am or at night, a woman who is alone and he robs her and gropes her.

The victim’s description of her attacker fits the description given by four other women robbed and assaulted last week -- including two on Thanksgiving morning. The attacker reportedly robs the women at gunpoint and then forces his hand down their pants.

The latest incident occurred on the 1800 block of Pine Street and police were still searching for the attacker Monday.

Last Wednesday, a 55-year-old woman was attacked at 17th and Folsom streets, and days earlier a 21-year-old was groped on South Street.

On Thanksgiving, police said, the man struck twice in the early-morning hours, first at 24th and Walnut streets and then at 25th and Spruce streets near a popular dog park.

Investigators said the attacker might have hidden by the Schuylkill River in between those two attacks.
