The attempted kidnapping Friday

BPD officers were initially called to the parking lot of the QFC in the Lake Hills neighborhood Friday afternoon shortly after 4 p.m. following a report of an attempted kidnapping. A 16-year-old girl had just exited a Metro bus when the suspect, who had also been on the bus, allegedly approached her. Police said he “accosted” the teenage victim. A bystander intervened and called police, which caused the suspect to flee the area on foot.

Officers, with the help of a K-9 unit, searched the area, but were unable to find the suspect.

On Monday morning, community members reached out to BPD and said they had seen a person matching the suspect’s description. The suspect was seen boarding a bus near the same QFC as Friday’s kidnapping.聽 BPD officers followed the bus and arrested the suspect once he exited.

BPD is currently investigating this incident.
