DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Reuters) - A blind man thought he positively identified a barefoot robbery suspect by feeling his feet, but police disagreed, a report said. "Being blind, I go by touch," William Bradley, 80, told the Daytona Beach News-Journal. Bradley was choked and robbed by a barefoot man who knocked at his door and then threw him to the floor on Monday night, according to police reports. "He had his foot on my throat and I couldn`t breathe," Bradley said. "When I was trying to get his foot off my throat it was the funniest shaped
foot. The robber stole a shirt and $4 then fled when he heard a car alarm outside. A short time later, police stopped a man they suspected in the robbery, and summoned Bradley to see if he could identify him by feeling his feet. "As
soon as I felt his ankles and toes I knew it was him," Bradley told the newspaper. But police were apparently not convinced that Bradley identified the correct foot and released the suspect.
