Arriving officers found a 13-year-old girl who claimed she was picked up at a park near a 7-Eleven Store in Falls Township by an older male, driving an older black car, police said. The girl reportedly also claimed the man pushed her out of the car on Route 13 in Bristol Township while it was traveling around 30 MPH.
She said her arm and back were sore. Medics examined her and did not see any visible injures and she was transported to Lower Bucks Hospital for examination, police said.
No injuries consistent with being pushed out of a moving vehicle were discovered on the girl at the hospital, police said. They added that her vinyl jacket and shoes were examined and showed no scrapes, tears or cuts consistent with being pushed from a moving vehicle.

Both Bristol Township and Falls police say the girl has been involved in similar incidents in the past. In one, she claimed she was sexually assaulted. The girl later admitted to fabricating that story, Bristol Township Acting Chief of Police Lt. John Godzieba said.
A Falls police source said the girl has had problems in the past with meeting older individuals on social media.
