Child escapes potential abduction
The victim was playing with a friend near the road at about 3 p.m., when a man picked her up from behind.
The girl was able to fight the man off, and the suspect ran from the area. The victim returned home to family who immediately called police.
The suspect was described as a thin black man with medium complexion in his late 20s to early 30s with short black hair. He has a small scratch on his face and was clean shaven. He was wearing a dark shirt and slim-fitted pants.
Detectives are asking community members in the area of Wheatwheel Drive and Gallows Road to review home surveillance footage from Oct. 13 before and after 3 p.m. in case they may have captured an image of the suspect. Anyone with information or surveillance images should call the FCPD Major Crimes Bureau at 703-246-7800. Tips can also be submitted anonymously through Crime Solvers.

I'm glad to hear that the child was able to escape. I hope he and his family can heal and find comfort again soon.

these low level kidnappers get for paid stealing for these children to higher level people…if you don't believe it google Gilberto Valle who was quoted as saying " Like I said this is very risky and will ruin my life if I am caught. I really need the money and I can’t take under $5,000"…now lets cee if this makes the comment section
