Police are investigating after receiving reports of a man in a van approaching a boy in Bristol Wednesday afternoon and asking him how to get to a school.
Police said it happened near Anthony Drive and Brace Avenue around 2:45 p.m. and the boy’s father contacted authorities.
He told them that the man, who appeared to be around 30 years old, was driving a white van and asked his son how to get to “the school,” according to a news release from police. A female passenger was in the van at the time.
The child had no other details about the man, the van or the passenger.
The father told police he thought it was suspicious that someone would ask a child who just walked off of a school bus for directions to no specific school, according to police.
