The Pima County Sheriff's Department is asking for the public's assistance in identifying a man after a "Stranger Danger" incident on Friday afternoon, according to a news release.
Deputies say at 3 p.m. they responded to the 2200 block of West Dakota Street for a report of a suspicious activity.
As they arrived, they learned a 12-year-old boy was sitting on his front porch waiting for his parents to get home when a man stopped his vehicle in front of the boy's home.
The suspect asked the boy if anyone else was there.
Deputies say at first the boy answered the suspect's questions but then became suspicious when the suspect said the boy's mother sent him and began to exit the vehicle.
The boy ran from the area and got help. The suspect then fled westbound on Dakota Street.
Detectives responded to the scene to continue the investigation. The boy provided detectives with a detailed description of the suspect.
