Woodridge police are investigating an attempted child abduction that occurred Monday afternoon at a Downers Grove North High School bus stop.
According to police, a white man attempted to lure a 14-year-old girl into his vehicle near the bus stop at the corner of Audubon and Janeswood Avenue in Woodridge about 4 p.m.
The girl ran away and immediately reported the attempt to authorities. There have been on other similar reports in the area, police said.
The man was described as being heavy set, in his late 30s or early 40s, with pale skin, a shaved or bald head and no facial hair. He was last seen wearing a red short-sleeved T-shirt and a backward black baseball hat.
