Pasadena Police Department is seeking assistance in identifying the suspect of an attempted kidnapping.

On Friday evening, April 17th, shortly after 10:00PM, the victim was walking home on Marengo Avenue at Penn Street when the suspect drove alongside her and attempted to engage the victim in conversation. The victim ignored him prompting the suspect to stop and exit his vehicle. He approached her and physically forced her into the front passenger seat. He managed to close the door and re-enter the driver side. In her efforts to escape, the victim struck the suspect once in the face and once in the groin area and managed to exit the vehicle. The suspect then drove away north and out of sight.

The suspect is described as a male African-American in his late 30's, bald, clean shaven, medium complexion, wearing a white T-shirt and blue jeans.

The suspect vehicle is described as a newer model Honda CRV or similar type, gray in color, stock in appearance, NFD.
