14-year-old runs away from would-be kidnapper on the way home from school, police say
GLENDALE, Ariz. (WFLA) — A teenage girl narrowly escaped a would-be kidnapper earlier this month.
Police in Glendale, Arizona, said a 14-year-old girl was walking home from school when a man drove up behind her in a car.
Surveillance video showed the man, identified as 28-year-old Timothy Guan, following the girl as she began walking faster.
Eventually, the girl began running for safety until she came across another resident who was walking their dog, officers said. The girl and the person with the dog then called the police.
Detectives said they arrested Guan on a charge of attempted kidnapping. Guan was said to have extensive criminal history, including three counts of aggravated assault on a minor.
