Police Tuesday were searching for a man who allegedly tried to kidnap a 13-year-old girl as she was walking in Encino.
The teen told investigators with the Los Angeles Police Department that a man jumped out of his parked vehicle and grabbed her at around 2:20 p.m. Nov. 11, near Magnolia Boulevard and Zelzah Avenue.
As he dragged the girl toward his car, she screamed and managed to free herself from his grasp and run away, according to authorities. The suspect immediately ran back to his car and drove off, authorities said.
The suspect was described as a Hispanic man in his 30s or 40s. He is 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs about 200 pounds. He had a shaved head and wore a white oversized T-shirt and dark baggy shorts.
He was driving a white four-door SUV with a broken right tail light, possibly a 1995-2005 GMC Yukon, with a license number that began with "4Y."
Anyone with information about the case was urged to call LAPD Detective Larry Concepcion at (818) 374-7725, or the toll-free number (877) LAPD 24-7.
