BROOMFIELD, Colo. – Police in Broomfield are asking for your help to find a man wanted in connection with an attempted kidnapping of a child Monday afternoon.

A young girl told Broomfield police she was walking home from school near the area of 144th Avenue and Lowell Boulevard in the Broadlands neighborhood when a man got out of a parked pickup truck and tried to push her inside.

The girl escaped and ran to safety, telling police the suspect vehicle is a dark-colored pickup truck with a crew cab. The suspect was described as a white male, between 30 and 40 years old, with an “average build and average height.”
