A 10-year-old girl says a man grabbed her outside the school.

Police say the girl resisted the attack and the man ran.

Police describe the suspect as a thin man with blonde hair, about 5'8". He was wearing a black Adidas hooded sweatshirt with a multi-colored Adidas logo at the time of the attempted abduction.

New information suggests he fled in a gray 2006 to 2009 Saturn Aura, with damage to the driver's side fender and door.

Anyone with information about this is urged to call CrimeStoppers at 720-913-7867 (STOP).
