Las Vegas police are searching for a man in connection with an attempted abduction of a 13-year-old girl who was walking to school Friday.

Lt. John Bradshaw said today that the attempt happened in the morning as the girl was walking to Mack Middle School.

She was walking near Vegas Valley Drive and Mountain Vista Street when a Hispanic man driving a black SUV made disparaging remarks to her and tried to lure her into his vehicle, Bradshaw said.

The girl told school authorities about the incident. She did not know the man.

Anyone who knows the man in the sketch or who has knowledge of the incident is urged to call Las Vegas police’s Sexual Assault Section at 828-3421 or Crime Stoppers at 385-5555.
