A Florida man ran over a woman in the US on their first date after she refused to let him smell her feet, media reports said.

The man was identified as 28-year-old Elmoncy Sercle.

Elmoncy Sercle, 28, allegedly arranged a meeting on the dating app Seeking with the woman in a room at the Serena Hotel in Aventura last Sunday when he asked her if he could smell her feet and buy her used sneakers, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by The New York Post.

The model, who requested anonymity, told Sercle that he would have to fork over $1,000 for the shoes and that she would have to retrieve them from her car, police told the newspaper.

The affidavit claimed the man did not agree to the hefty rate.

“When I got there, he just wanted to sniff my feet and I didn’t feel comfortable with that,” the woman told Local 10.

“I mean, you could have my sneakers all you want. I mean, I don’t care. I’m not wearing them. And you know, they’re just stinky old sneakers. But people like weird things," she said.

She told the news portal that Sercle, of southwest Miami-Dade, ran out of the room with what she thought were her shoes. She said she ran after him to the parking area.

She said when she confronted Sercle, “he did a three-point turn and actually hit me with a car. Ran me over.”

“By the grace of God, I’m still standing today,” the woman said.

She described the incident as bizarre.

Police arrested the person on a charge of aggravated battery.
