Atlanta police are looking for a man accused of sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl on her way to school.
The child was walking in the 1500 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Drive about 9 a.m. Sept. 29 when a man grabbed her near Mozley Park in southwest Atlanta, police said.

He was wearing a tan sweater with a white shirt underneath, blue jeans and white Jordan sneakers, the girl told police.
