NYPD Manhunt for Fugitive Child Abduction, Assault Suspect in Queens

QUEENS, N.Y. — Police are searching for a man who abducted a 9-year-old girl in Queens on Thursday evening, then forced her to perform a lewd act before returning her to the original location.

The incident occurred at approximately 7:21 p.m. near 213th Street and Jamaica Avenue, within the confines of the NYPD’s 105th Precinct.

According to authorities, the unidentified male approached the young victim, led her to his vehicle, and drove away from the scene. The suspect then assaulted the girl inside his car, a brown Honda Civic sedan, before driving her back to the vicinity where he had initially taken her. The suspect fled the area afterward, and his whereabouts remain unknown.

The suspect is described as having a dark complexion and a heavy build. He was last seen wearing a blue MTA hat, clear glasses, a pink shirt, and blue jeans. The vehicle involved is described as a four-door Honda Civic sedan.
