Child abduction attempt reported in Kansas City
Police are investigating a possible attempt to abduct a child Thursday morning in central Kansas City.
Just after 11 a.m. Thursday, a man reported to police that someone tried to abduct his 5-year-old granddaughter on 28th Street just east of Prospect Avenue.
The man said he was across the street when he saw a man in a gray sedan pull up to his granddaughter. When the grandfather yelled and began running toward the car, the driver left heading east.
The girl reported that when he drove up, the man asked her if she knew “Kelly.”
A detailed description of the suspect was not available.
