CHICAGO (CBS)--Chicago police said a man and woman tried to kidnap a child Monday evening in the Morgan Park neighborhood.
An 11-year-old boy was walking alone on the 11100 block of South Campbell Avenue at 7:42 p.m. April 29 when he was approached by a man who offered him cash.
The man, according to police, pointed to a red SUV that was behind him and told the boy, "I will give you a couple of dollars if you go to that red car, get my wife out, and tell her to come here."
The boy ran away and the vehicle drove off in a southbound direction.
