The Manhattan Beach Police Department said it\u2019s looking into a reported attempted kidnapping, it said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
A Nextdoor user made a post on the platform sharing an encounter with their 9-year-old son, who was playing tag with his friends near Sand Dune Park. During the game, the child was near the bottom of the hill when the driver of a red vehicle stopped near him and attempted to push the boy into the car, according to the post.<\/p>\n
The boy fought back by screaming and kicking, prompting the driver to give up and take off in his vehicle.<\/p>\n
The Manhattan Beach Police Department confirmed it\u2019s aware of the report and said officers are actively looking into the matter.<\/p>\n
A detailed description of the man was not available from police, but the online post described the assailant as a man who wore dark sunglasses and a black hoodie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Manhattan Beach Police Department said it\u2019s looking into a reported attempted kidnapping, it said on Tuesday.
