One man must have mistakenly heard the phrase “head over heels” as “head over wheels.”

Dayton, Ohio, native Michael Henson was apprehended by authorities on Wednesday (Thursday in Manila) after allegedly attempting to have sex with a parked vehicle.

Witnesses claimed the 35-year-old American, who was only wearing a pair of shorts and socks at the time, had pulled his trousers down and placed “his genitals in the grill of a red van,” near a stoplight on 700 block of St. Nicholas Street, New York Post reported.

One witness told police that the act went on for a short time, until Henson passed out in the yard, the police report said. Apart from his lustful shenanigans, Henson also reportedly swung at the stop sign, before the indecent incident happened.

Responding officers apprehended the apparently intoxicated man, while other witnesses believe he was also under the influence of some narcotics.

Henson was charged with  two counts of public indecency and placed under custody in the Montgomery County Jail. Khristian Ibarrola/rga
