Police released a sketch of a suspect who allegedly lured a 10-year-old girl into his car in Richmond Hill, according to authorities.
The child was walking near her family’s 102nd Street home at 7 a.m. Wednesday en route to summer school when the suspect pulled up in his ♎car and struck up a conversation, cops said. “Where you going? I’ll take you,” the man said, according to police.
When the girl mentioned that she was on her way to school, the man earned her trust by claiming he was her mother’s🌌 cousin. Her grandfather, who happened to be across the street, ﷽saw the girl get into the car and tried to stop her, but it was too late.
He called police as the vehicle sped away. But the alleged abductor apparently got cold feet and forced the girl out at Jꦏamaica Avenue and Woodhav♓en Boulevard.
She continued walking to school, where police had already alerted stafferꦦs. The girl was reunited with her mom an hour later.
The unharmed child was taken to Ja🍬maica Hospital for a precautionary evaluation.
