Reports: Detroit Boy Grabbed From School, Raped
DETROIT (WWJ/AP) - A 13-year-old boy tells authorities that he was snatched from a Detroit elementary school doorway and sexually assaulted in a nearby abandoned house.
Several local news outlets reported Wednesday that police were searching for two men who reportedly knocked on a locked door at Wayne Elementary and grabbed the boy when he opened it.
Detroit police would not confirm those reports as of Wednesday evening.
A spokeswoman for the district said the Detroit Public Schools "received reports of a possible incident involving a 13-year-old student," and that its officers are investigating.
People living in the area told WDIV that they saw the boy walking down the street on the city's east side and his hands were tied. Resident Lawrence Snider told WXYZ the boy "had no pants on, no shoes on."
There was no immediate word on the boy's condition.
