Attempt child abduction reported in San Dimas
SAN DIMAS -- A man apparently attempted to kidnap a 9-year-old boy Wednesday in San Dimas, sheriff's officials said.
The crime occurred about 8:15 p.m. as the young victim was riding his bicycle at Juanita Avenue and Kennedy Road, Los Angeles County sheriff's Sgt. Richard Ramirez said.
He was approached on foot by a white man estimated to be between 20 and 30 years old, who was about 5 feet tall and about 150 pounds, the sergeant said.
The man grabbed the boy's arm, but the boy kicked at the man and was able to get free and continue riding home, Ramirez said. The man was seen driving away in a white SUV.
The boy told his parents, who then called the sheriff's department, he said.
Anyone with information is asked to call the sheriff's San Dimas Station at (626) 450-2700.
