Darpan News Desk , 21 May, 2016 01:59 PM
    On Saturday, May 7, 2016, at 11:15 pm, a 17-year-old female exited a bus in the area of Townline Road and Firhill Drive. As she began walking westbound from that location, a male suspect exited a shiny, black 4-door sedan and grabbed the victim and offered her cash. 
     
    He attempted to push her into the back seat of his car while grabbing and groping the victim. After a brief exchange, the victim managed to call 911 and the suspect fled the area.
     
    The suspect is described as a South Asian man, 20-35 years of age, 5’7”- 5’9” tall with a medium build, short black hair and a couple days of beard growth.
