Police say they are looking for a suspect in the attempted abduction of a teenage girl in northwest Edmonton last week.
Edmonton police say a 15-year-old girl was walking near 145 Avenue and 125 Street on Friday around 9 a.m. when a man who was urinating outside approached her.
The man, who police say appeared to be intoxicated, then grabbed her arm and tried to drag her across the street, according to police. The girl managed to escape.
The man was seen getting into a grey vehicle after the incident. The suspect is described as being between 50 and 55 years old with thin white hair.
While investigating, police learned of another incident involving a man with a similar description. According to police, on May 7, a resident observed a naked man masturbating in a park in the same area. He was the seen getting dressed, and walking on 125 Street before getting into a grey hatchback.
Surveillance footage from May 7 show the vehicle to be a 2011 to 2018 grey Honda Fit.
Police have not confirmed if both the incidents are connected.
Anyone with any information about the suspect is asked to contact the EPS at 780-423-4567.
