Girl calls 911 after attempted abduction

Atlanta police are looking for a man they say tried to get a 12-year-old girl into his car.

Lakeisha Noble was walking to southwest Atlanta’s Sylvan Hills Middle School around 8:30 a.m. when, she said, a man driving a silver four-door car drove past her several times trying to get her to get in.

"He could've took her somewhere, beat her, killed her or anything," Noble’s mother, Satrice Glanton, told Channel 2’s Amy Napier Viteri.

Glanton said she got a frightening phone call at work. She said she was told, "Can you leave work? We've got Lakeisha right here with the police, and some man tried to get her into the car," she said.

The 12-year-old described the man to a Georgia Bureau of Investigation artist who developed a composite sketch. Noble said no one else was near when the man approached her.

"I was scared. I was thinking, ‘I'm all by myself, so I don't know what this man is trying to do to me,’" she said.

She asked the man to leave her alone but he turned around and came back three times. He said he threatened to hurt her.

“If I get in the car, he's going to beat me," Noble said.

Noble said she told the man she was going to call police. She pulled out the cell phone her mother gave her and called 911, and the man drove off. Atlanta police Lt. Stacie Gibbs said there has been another report of a suspicious man in the area.

"We have had a call in of an individual who was kind of demonstrating some suspicious activity, possibly looking at people at a bus stop, young girls," Gibbs said.

But she said things could have been worse.

"He could have gotten out his car and pulled her into the car, and I wouldn't have known nothing about it," Glanton said.

Noble was able to give police a partial tag description with the letters B-U-X. Police are asking anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477.
