ALEXANDRIA, VA — Detectives are investigating an attempted abduction of a juvenile that occurred yesterday between 4:15 and 5 p.m. in the 6600 block of Fort Hunt Road.
A Belle View Elementary School student was walking on a sidewalk along Fort Hunt Road when a man approached from behind and picked the student up. The student fought the man off and the suspect ran from the area.
The student returned to the school and notified administrators who immediately called police. The suspect was described as a white man in his 40s, approximately 5’11”, medium build, with short brown hair. He had a trimmed grey beard and red bumps on his face. At the time of the incident, he was wearing a brown hooded jacket, loose blue jeans and boots.
