A 14-year-old girl was dragged into an alley near Livernois Avenue and Cortland Street in Detroit. She was raped by a man wearing a mask.
Police also are investigating four attempted abductions of girls aged 14-17 just a few miles away from where Tuesday’s attack happened. Young teen girls are being targeted as they walk to school by a predator trying to drag them into his car.
There have been four attempted abductions within days. The first was May 13 at Westwood and Joy on Detroit’s west side. The same man tried grabbing that teen the next day.
On May 14 at Westwood and Westfield three girls were approached by a man who exposed himself. Then on May 15 at Westwood and West Chicago a man tried grabbing and pulling a teen into his car.
Detroit police believe all four attempted abductions are connected
