A 10-year-old girl reported to police that she got off the bus when the vehicle pulled alongside her on Glenrose Avenue near Malinda Drive and followed her until she ran. The girl said the man driving the sedan told her to “get in the car.” He also is alleged to have winked at the girl.

Police said the incident happened between 3 p.m. and 4:15 p.m.

The girl described the driver as a man in his mid-20s with an Indian accent. He had a tattoo on his left bicep, straight and light-colored brown hair and greenish eyes. In addition, the man was wearing a red shirt with “Pride” printed on it.
