Attempted Abduction Arrest in Manassas
   posted 3:43 pm Mon September 17, 2007 - Manassas, VA
Manassas Police have arrested a 19-year-old man who is accused of trying to abduct a 12-year-old girl Friday night in the 9,500 block of Willowbrook Court.

Officers were called to the address for a reported argument. When they arrived, the officers spotted a man leaving on a bike.  The victim told officers she was walking to a friend's house when the bicycle-riding man approached her from behind and grabbed the back of her shirt. She says the man told her he would take her someplace where she could not get away. The victim pulled away and made a commotion. A witness confronted the man, who fled.
