On October 20, a man attempted to abduct a teenage girl in the Mount Vernon area of Fairfax County. They have now released a composite sketch of the suspected abductor and are asking for the public's help in identifying the man.

A girl was almost abducted last month near the intersection of North King's Highway and Fairhaven Avenue. A man in a red Chevy Cruze tried to pull her into his car, but she managed to get away and worked with detectives to produce this composite sketch.
