Chico Police are investigating an attempted abduction. A woman was walking her son to school on Laurel Street when they were allegedly confronted by a man wearing dark clothing around 7:30 Tuesday morning. The man reportedly grabbed the boy's arm. The man took off after the mother called for help and neighbors began coming out of their homes.
According to a Chico Police Department press release, the information is still limited at this time, but the suspect is described as a dark skinned, adult male who appeared to be a transient.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Chico Police Department.
