  We study the consequences of spacetime torsion coexisting with gravity in the
bulk in scenarios with large extra dimensions. Having linked torsion with the
Kalb-Ramond antisymmetric tensor field arising in string theories, we examine
its artifacts on the visible 3-brane when the extra dimensions are
compactified. It is found that while torsion would have led to parity violation
in a 4-dimensional framework, all parity violating effects disappear on the
visible brane when the torsion originates in the bulk. However, such a scenario
is found to have characteristics of its own, some of which can be
phenomenologically significant.
