CHICAGO (CBS) -- Two men tried to kidnap a 10-year-old boy last week in the Gresham neighborhood, and police are hoping someone recognizes a sketch of the suspect.

Police said the boy was taking out the trash Thursday morning in the alley near 82nd and Perry, when two men pulled up in a vehicle, and one of them got out of the car and grabbed him.

The boy was able to get away, and ran back into his house unharmed.
