Police released a composite sketch Oct. 21, 2016 of a man wanted in connection to an attempted abduction reported by a student at PCC's West Campus. 

A composite sketch of a man wanted in connection to an abduction attempt Thursday at PCC's West Campus was released Friday night. 

A student reported that a man approached her near the main entrance on the south side of the "A" Building, shortly after 3 p.m. and tried to drag her to his car, authorities said.

The assailant was described as an African-American man in his 20s who was wearing a white T-shirt and black shorts. He was about 6 feet tall and weighed about 170 pounds. He had brown eyes. The woman used the wrong terminology to describe his hairstyle. It was not in cornrows, said Libby Howell, a PCC spokeswoman.

The woman told police that the man said he had been watching her, and then tried to abduct her. She said the man's car was parked about 20 feet away, Howell said.

The woman, who said she did not know the assailant, said she fought him off and the man drove away in a small gray vehicle. It had tinted windows and possibly four doors.

She went into a campus building where she reported the incident, said Howell. The woman did not require medical attention.

Police searched the campus at 2202 W. Anklam Road, but did not find the man or the vehicle, Howell said. Classes were cancelled Thursday evening and resumed Friday morning. 

The investigation is continuing and anyone with information is asked to call the PCC Police Department at 206-2700.
