Police are looking for an SUV driver they say tried to kidnap a 13-year-old girl in Brooklyn in broad daylight over the weekend.
The girl was walking along Pitkin Avenue around 2:30 p.m. Sunday when she noticed a dark SUV had started to follow her, according to police.
At some point, it stopped and a man she didn't know got out and walked up to her. That stranger tried to grab a laundry cart she was pushing and convince her to come with him. The driver tried multiple times to persuade her but she refused.
