The girl was walking along Blake Lane, near the intersection with Palmer Street, when a man standing on the sidewalk engaged her in conversation. He asked her to get in his car, she refused, and he attempted to force her into his car.

The victim in Tuesday's abduction attempt said she believes the suspect was driving a Honda Fit, describing it as a white, four-door, sub-compact with a “Baby-on-board” sign on the driver’s side. She described the suspect as possibly Hispanic, in his early to mid-20s, 5 feet 6 to 5 feet 9 inches tall with a thin build, and short, black hair.
