The Grand Island Police Department is investigating an attempted abduction that occurred on Monday. It happened near 12th and Elm St. According to Captain Jim Duering, a 13-year-old boy had been walking home from school during the attempted attack. Duering said the boy noticed a smaller red vehicle parked in the alley way with a man standing nearby. The boy had a strange feeling so he crossed the street to the other side of the road. The man from the vehicle then followed the boy, and after a brief conversation, he grabbed the boys arm and tried to pull him across the street to the vehicle. Duering said the boy screamed and was able to pull away from the man and was able to run home. Police were able to gather video evidence from a neighbors security camera. GIPD is looking for a thin Hispanic male in his late teens to mid 20’s with blue highlights in his hair. They also are looking for a red newer model small vehicle that believe is associated to the crime.
