Man Approached Boy at Bus Stop in Watertown: Police

Police are looking for the driver.

A man approached a young boy at a bus stop in Watertown Thursday afternoon and police are asking anyone with information about the person, the car or other similar incidents to come forward. 

The 11-year-old boy had been dropped off at a bus stop at Tucker Avenue and French Street just before 3 p.m. when a white sedan approached him and the driver asked him if he needed a ride, then asked him to get into the vehicle, police said. 

The boy said no and ran home, according to police. He told police the vehicle looked like a newer white Toyota sedan and the man appeared to be in his late 20s, with dark hair and scruff on his face. He was wearing a blue shirt and a baseball cap. 

Anyone with information on the vehicle or who knows of similar incidents should call Watertown School Resource Officer Desena or the Watertown Police at 860-945-5200.
