A sketch of a man who is accused of attempting to kidnap a 16-year-old girl at an Orange County bus stop on Tuesday morning has been released, according to the Orange County Sheriff's Office on Wednesday.

  • Attempted kidnapping in front of Alexandria Parc Vue complex
  • Girl, 16, was walking to bus stop at about 6:15 a.m.
  • Attempted kidnapping reported near Orange County apartment complex

The man is described as white, in his 20s with a thin build and brown hair and facial hair. No height, weight or description of clothes were given, however he was last seen driving a tan or beige-colored four-door vehicle.

The incident happened at about 6:15 a.m. along Bastille Lane, which is in front of the Alexandria Parc Vue apartment complex.

"He ran away, I ask her what happened, and she told me, ‘He tried to get me.’ I tried to catch him, but I couldn’t," said eyewitness Javier Rivas, who lives in the apartment complex.

The suspect got back into the vehicle and left the complex in an unknown direction, deputies said. The victim was shaken and bruised during the attack, a release states.
