'The shadow kept getting closer and then that's when I felt his hands touch my shoulder,' said a 7th grader about an attempted luring incident in South Jersey.
PLEASANTVILLE, New Jersey -- Police in Pleasantville, New Jersey have arrested the man they say tried to lure a teenage girl walking to her bus stop Thursday morning.
"I already had a bad feeling so I turned around and started walking fast the opposite direction," she said."The shadows were out, so like as he was walking closer and closer. The shadow kept getting closer and then that's when I felt his hands touch my shoulder, and a different school bus was right there," she said.
"That's when the lady got off the bus and was like, 'Do you know him?' And I was like, 'No.' And she was like, 'Why are you touching her if you don't know her?' And he was like, 'I didn't touch her,'" recalled the victim. Police say the girl gave a thorough description of the man, which they used as they patrolled the area.
