There was a heavy police presence in the area of 10200 Main Street after 5 p.m. on July 3, as investigators looked into reports of an attempted abduction of an adult in the middle of the day.

According to the Fairfax City Police Department, the suspect was described as a Black or Hispanic man wearing a white striped shirt.

The suspect is still at large, officials noted. His victim was reportedly being evaluated by first responders as a precaution.
