St. Joseph Police detectives are asking for help in the investigation of a possible abduction attempt this week.

Detectives say the incident happened just after midnight early Tuesday morning. A 13 year-old girl reported a man grabbed her and started to pull her towards a van parked nearby.  

The girl managed to get away.  It happened in the 2600 block of Olive Street in St Joseph.

The man was described as a white male with a dark mustache between 25 and 30 years-old and around six foot in height with a heavy build.

The vehicle was described as a dark green or blue older full-sized van with tinted windows and poor paint. A second subject may have been in the van.

Anyone with information is asked to call the TIPS hotline, 238-TIPS.
