At 8:06 p.m., officers responded to Park Avenue where a woman said she was approached by three unknown Black boys wearing all black clothing, Maplewood police said in a release.
One of the juveniles brandished a knife toward her and said, "Let me get in the car," police said.
The three boys fled the area when they observed the woman calling 9-1-1, police said. Police observed a suspect matching the description, and he fled on foot when ordered to stop, officers said.
After a pursuit through backyards, the boy was apprehended, police said. The victim was unable to positively identify the juvenile that was apprehended, police said.
