The Yuma Police Department is seeking a suspect after an alleged kidnapping attempt Tuesday.
According to a news release, a 33-year-old female was walking on 28th Street near Avenue B at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, when she reported she was approached by male who asked her if she needed a ride.
After she refused, the male attempted to pull her into the van, according to the release.
The victim received minor abrasions during the scuffle, but was able to get away and the suspect fled the scene.
The suspect is described as a male in his 40s, 5’10”, thick build with slicked back hair and a goatee.
According to the release, he was last seen wearing sunglasses, a diamond stud earring in his right ear, a white shirt with grease spots, dark carpenter-style pants and dark shoes with blue laces. He spoke in broken English, according to the release.
The vehicle was described as a white, older model, full-sized van with a side door. The van had no side or rear windows, rust and repair or Bondo-type spots.
According to the report, it possibly had a Mexico license plate.
There was at least one witness who honked their car horn during the incident who remains unidentified, according to the release.

Seriously WTF? This makes me nervous because the booger is training for cross country right now and her and a bunch of other kids are out there running the same freaken streets. I mean ya, sometimes they stay in groups and the coach is following them, but he can't keep an eye on all of them. Especially not when some of the runners are faster or slower than others and like to run at their own pace. :/

I didn't hear about this but it doesn't surprise me at all! There are all kinds of weirdos out there, you can't ever be too careful.
I always keep a close watch of my surroundings. Like this morning I pulled up to the gas station to fill up & I noticed there was a huge truck parked with the hood up at one of the gas pumps.
I could see the guy's feet but that was about it. It was kind of freaky but he left soon after I got there. The freakier part was when another truck pulled up on the opposite side of where I was filling up.
There were 2 guys in there both looked at me weird. I started cleaning my windshield while I waited but I kept watching these guys b/c you never know. The passenger got out of the vehicle and stood at the front of the truck just staring at me.
The driver started cleaning his windshield too & pretended not to notice me but then when I'd turn to look at them, he'd turn around the other way. It was so uncomfortable that as soon as that pump stopped, I got my receipt & took off.
This reminded me of the story Itold you guys about the man in the truck asking me if I wanted to get into his truck.
It reminded me of your story too Party of 3
