? Police are investigating the fifth attempted abduction of a young person in Borough Park Thursday.
Members of a neighborhood safety patrol say this time the suspect flashed a fake police badge and tried to lure a 16-year-old teenage girl into his white SUV. Authorities say she ran away. The safety patrol believes it is the same man who has been patrolling Borough Park, but members admit there are few similarities between the targeted children. Also, an earlier police sketch describes a different man.
The range in the children?s ages is just one reason why parents are concerned. One mother says a neighbor tried to talk to her son, causing him to panic because he was scared for his life.
