The incident occurred in Rockland County around 8:50 a.m., Friday, May 24, on South John Street in Pearl River.

According to Lt. Michael Boysa of the Orangetown Police, a 10-year-old boy was in his driveway when a blue sedan pulled up in front of his home.

After a while, the man got out of the car and "abruptly approached," the boy, Boysa said.

The man is described as middle-aged, wearing a blue baseball-style cap and black pants.

Boysa said there was no communication or contact between the two. The boy returned to his backyard, went inside his home, and told a guardian about the situation.

The vehicle left the scene.
