Watch: Mom Reports Attempted Abduction In Monroe
Police said the 4-year-old’s mother told them they were walking early Sunday evening in St. Mary’s Park when a white man in his 50s grabbed the girl’s arm and said, “Come here.”
Police said the girl and her mother started screaming and the man ran off over a bridge and into downtown Monroe.
The man is described as having short brown hair, a goatee and was last seen wearing a white button down shirt with dark pants.
“It’s normally very quiet, it’s very child-friendly. It’s a good atmosphere to bring your child to. It’s a good park,” said parent Angela Harrison
