Police release sketch of man in attempted kidnapping

Police on Tuesday released a composite drawing of a portly man who tried to kidnap a 13-year-old girl as she was walking home from school in Encino.

The teen told Los Angeles Police Department investigators that a man jumped out of his parked vehicle and grabbed her about 2:20 p.m. Nov. 11 near Magnolia Boulevard and Zelzah Avenue.

As he dragged the girl toward his car, she screamed and managed to free herself from his grasp and run away. The suspect immediately ran back to his car and drove off.

The suspect was described as a 30- to 40-year-old Hispanic man, 5 feet 6 inches tall and about 200 pounds. He had a shaved head and wore a white oversized T-shirt and dark baggy shorts.

He was driving a white four-door SUV with a broken right tail light, possibly a 1995-2005 GMC Yukon, with a license number that began with "4Y."

Anyone with information about the case was urged to call LAPD Detective Larry Concepcion at 818-374-7725, or the toll-free number 877-LAPD 24-7.
