Cops Seek Man Who Approached Bike-Riding Boy

Tewksbury police are asking residents both locally and regionally to help find a man who approached a young boy riding his bike on McCann Mill Road.

On Saturday, in the Pottersville section of town, a nine-year-old was riding his bike near the area of Brady Camp between 2 and 4 p.m., Tewksbury police said.

A car drove alongside the boy and the driver, a man said to be in his 50s, waved the boy over to his car, police said. The boy went to the window and was handed a pamphlet that said "God Bless Your Family," police reported.

The driver then rode off in what police believe was a Hyundai sedan, possibly blue in color, and headed south on McCann Mill Road toward Black River Road.

The boy described the driver as having white hair, wearing glasses, and possibly wearing a blue dress shirt, police said.

Tewksbury Police say there was no attempted abduction, but they want to speak with the man about his approaching the child.

Anyone with information is urged to call Tewksbury Police at 908-439-3477.
