Kidnapping attempt fails

A student was the victim of an attempted kidnapping Monday night, police said.

The 23-year-old student was riding her bike near North Euclid Avenue and East Elm Street at about 9:30 p.m. when the incident occurred. As she rode her bicycle, a man with blond hair driving a red sport utility vehicle stepped out of his car and tried to grab the student, said University of Arizona Police Department Commander Brain Seastone.

The man was unsuccessful in getting the student into his car, and the student was able to ride her bike away from the man, and contact police later.

Police stopped a car matching the suspect's vehicle description later that night. Officers took the student to identify the man, and she said she believed it was not the same man who attempted to abduct her, police said.

UAPD has not ruled him out as a suspect.

Police said they would make a report on the incident available today.
