DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — Police in DeKalb County are asking the public’s help in finding a man they said tried to abduct a 14-year-old girl from school on Tuesday morning.

Investigators released a sketch of the man they said tried to take the girl as she walked to Miller Grove High School.

Detectives said the man forced the girl into his SUV, drove a short distance and then let her out near the high school.

The man is described as black, about 50 to 60 years old, bald with a brown complexion and approximately 5 feet 4 inches tall.

Three other girls said they had an encounter with a man fitting the same description in December.

The teen said the man was driving a light blue midsize SUV with a partial plate number beginning with RIH.
