CHICAGO — A 13-year-old girl escaped a man who touched her butt and tried to kidnap her Wednesday in Lincoln Park, police said.

At 5 p.m., the girl was walking near Orchard Street and Lincoln Avenue when a bicyclist came up to her from behind and slapped her butt, according to a Chicago Police community alert. The man got off his bike and said, “You’re coming with me, precious!”

The girl ran off and got away, police said.

The man was black, 5-foot-7 to 5-foot-10 and slim with black, curly hair, police said. He wore a plain orange T-shirt and light-colored cargo shorts. His bike was blue with thin tires and a straight handlebar.

Anyone with information about the incident was asked to call police at 312-747-8380.
