At approximately 12:15 a.m., Zone 1 officers were dispatched to the Sunoco gas station in the 300 block of Cedar Ave. following reports of an attempted abduction.
Arriving officers spoke with a male who reported that his 15-year-old daughter was in the backseat of the car while he was inside the convenience store. During that time, an unknown male opened the back car door and attempted to grab her. She received a scratch to her leg, but was otherwise unharmed. She refused medical attention.
Police searched the area for the suspect, with negative results. The investigation is ongoing.
