A 12-year-old girl was able to get away from a man she says was stalking her. Now police in Tierrasanta are looking for that man. The girl told police that the man began following her around 5:45p.m. Wednesday as she was walking on Santo Road.
San Diego Police Lt. Andra Brown says the girl crossed the roadway multiple times, but he also crossed the road, continuing to follow her. She says the girl confronted the man, and told him to stop following her. "He said he wanted to talk to her, but she told him to leave her alone and continued walking away. He followed her further onto a residential street and she again confronted him. When he approached a second time, she struck him and ran away and hid,'' Brown said. The girl then ran home and reported the incident to her mother, Brown said, adding that the suspect did not touch the girl, who was unharmed.
The suspect is a dark-skinned Hispanic man in his late 20's. He is 5'10" with a medium build and was wearing a gray zip-up hoodie over a white T-shirt, blue jeans and gray Nike athletic shoes with a white logo. The suspect had cheetah framed sunglasses on top of his head and mumbled when he spoke. He also appeared to have a green tattoo on the back of his neck.
Anyone with information regarding this incident was asked to call the SDPD Eastern Division at (858) 495-7900 or Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477.
