A young girl in Boulder had a terrifying experience on Monday morning as she was on her way to school. According to a post on X.com from the Boulder Police Department, the 11-year-old was riding her bicycle on 26th Street between Meadow and Norwood avenues when she noticed an unfamiliar man following her. As she continued on her route, the man suddenly grabbed her shoulder, causing her to panic and fear for her safety.
In a moment of bravery, the quick-thinking girl grabbed a nearby tree branch and used it to hit the man, causing him to release his grip and giving her the opportunity to escape. She immediately ran to school and shared the frightening encounter with her mother when she returned home. Her mother promptly contacted the authorities on Wednesday, and an investigation into the incident began.
The suspect is described as a man dressed in all black, with a mask and circular sunglasses with colored lenses. He may have also been speaking Spanish. This is the second attempted kidnapping in the Front Range area within a week, as another man tried to abduct a girl at gunpoint near Mountain Range High School just a few days prior on October 25th. As of now, no arrests have been made in either case.
The Boulder Police Department is urging anyone with information about this incident to come forward and contact Detective Taylor Hickam at
[email protected] or 303-441-1936, referencing case number 24-11453. The safety and well-being of the community, especially our children, is of the utmost importance, and any information could be crucial in solving this case and bringing the suspect to justice.

It's important to have open communication with our loved ones and to report any suspicious behavior to the authorities. Let's work together to keep each other safe and prevent these types of incidents from happening in the future.
