Fairfax County police released a composite sketch Friday of the suspect in an attempted abduction reported on April 2 in the Oak Hill area.

The police said they believe the suspect may have been driving a green-colored pickup truck in the area of Lawyers Road and Glenbrooke Woods Drive when he spoke to a young woman and grabbed her.

The police responded to the incident at 3:50 p.m., according to a statement. The victim, a 20-year-old woman, reported that she was waiting for a bus when a man drove up and stopped his pickup truck nearby.

The man exited the truck, engaged the victim in conversation, and then grabbed her by the arm. The suspect tried to force the victim back to his truck, but the victim resisted and managed to free herself.

The suspect returned to the truck and fled, police said. The victim did not require medical treatment.

The suspect is described as an Hispanic male, 40 to 50 years of age, with straight black hair. He was wearing a green sweatshirt with a white T-shirt underneath and tan-colored pants.

His vehicle was described as an older-model pickup truck with a ladder rack and tan-colored interior.
