Police in Triangle, Virginia, are asking the public to be alert and on the lookout for a man who assaulted and tried to abduct two young girls.
CBS 9 reports that Prince William County Police responded to a call Tuesday morning at the 3800 block of Graham Park Road in Triangle, after someone reported an assault on a child. Investigators said a 12-year-old girl was walking to school a little before 8 a.m. near Graham Park Road when a stranger began following her.
As the man walked behind her, he grabbed her and inappropriately touched her, according to police. The man fled when the child began screaming.
Another victim, also 12, told police that she was walking close to Ginn Memorial Park when an unknown man started following her. The stranger then grabbed her and touched her inappropriately, and again, fled when the victim started screaming.
