HOUSTON -- A middle school student said she was nearly abducted near a Fort Bend County school, KPRC Local 2 reported Thursday.

Deputies of the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office said the attempted abduction occurred Thursday at about 12:30 p.m. in the 16000 block of Bissonnet, near Hodges Bend Middle School.

The 14-year-old victim was walking home from Hodges Bend when she was approached by a man driving a green Toyota truck. The abductor offered her a ride and when she declined, he exited the vehicle, grabbed her arm and demanded she get into his vehicle, she said.

The victim was able to fight off the abductor and run for help.

The man is described as Hispanic with a dark complexion, between the ages of 30 and 40, approximately 6 feet 2 inches tall, with a thin build, black-spiked hair, and a black and gray mustache.

He was wearing sunglasses, a white muscle shirt and baggy blue jeans.

The vehicle he drove was described as an older-model green single-cab Toyota truck with a long scratch located on the lower part of the tailgate, just above the license plate. The first character of the license plate is a 2 and the last character is a 4.

Some neighbors of the area where the near-abduction took place said they are guarded after the incident.

"You are supposed to feel comfortable and safe at home, but nowadays you can't really go out and you always have to worry about your family. It's not like the old days when you can let your children run around. That's sad," said Charlotte Johnson.

Detectives are requesting anyone with information on this suspect or the circumstances surrounding this incident contact the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office at 281-341-4665 or Fort Bend County Crime Stoppers at 281-342-TIPS (8477).
