An eighth-grade female student reported that she was walking to school and listening to her iPod when an Hispanic male, around 25 years old, 5'5" to 5'6" and about 160 pounds with a medium build approached her from behind and grabbed her. She was able to run away to safety.
The suspect was wearing light colored blue jeans, light blue shirt, dark blue hoodie and white tennis shoes. He was clean shaven.
HISD police have increased patrols in the area. Parents are reminded to instruct their children on safety measures. Officials also caution iPods can be a distraction for children and can make it harder for children to be alert for predators.
