CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) -
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police are investigating a sexual assault they say happened around 8:30 Wednesday morning on Briarcliff Place.
A witness who asked to remain anonymous told WBTV she watched a man forcibly grab a teenage girl who was walking down the sidewalk. She called 911 and the man took off in his vehicle.
"It's a quiet neighborhood. You think nothing like this happens, but it does," one neighbor said.
CMPD is releasing very little information, but according to the report, the man inappropriately touched the woman and tried to kidnap her.
At this point, it doesn’t appear the two knew each other, but the report states the suspect is known to them.
“It was broad daylight. There were people around. There were yard men next to me and it just shocked me that I didn’t hear anything, nothing was said,” the neighbor said.
No arrests have been made in this case.
If you know anything about the incident, call Crime Stoppers at 704-334-1600.
