A 9-year-old Cobb County boy says he was able to get away from the man who grabbed him after he got off the school bus last week, police said Wednesday.
Investigators hope a GBI sketch of the suspect will help identify the man, Officer David Baldwin with Marietta police said.
The child had gotten off the school bus at the Ridge Point Apartments on Franklin Road around 4 p.m. Nov. 6 when he was approached by a man who grabbed him and pulled him in another direction, Baldwin said.
“The child was able to break free of the suspect and ran home,” Baldwin said in an emailed statement. “Police were called immediately and a search for the suspect was conducted.”
Anyone who may know the identity of the suspect, believed to be between the ages of 25 and 35, is asked to contact Detective Mark Erion at 770-794-5363 or the Marietta Police Anonymous Tip Line at 770-794-6990.
