The Medina Police Department is asking for the public's assistance in locating a man who allegedly attempted to abduct a child on Monday.
Just before 5 p.m., a man allegedly attempted to abduct a 10-year-old boy from the Forest Meadows Apartments playground area, police said.
"My kids are playing at the park, and a man grabbed one of my kids and tried to run off," the parent told a dispatcher during a 911 call. "They said that he picked him up, ran about 100 feet, dropped him when all the other kids chased him, and then he ran off."
The boy was able to break free from the man and returned safely to his family, police said. The man fled the area and remains at large.
The man is described as being in his 30s and around 6 feet tall with a slim build, police said. He also has blonde hair and a short, scruffy blonde beard.
He was wearing brown skinny pants, a white T-shirt with a black collar and black and white shoes.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Medina Police at 330-725-7777.
