ABBOTSFORD, B.C. — Police in Abbotsford, B.C., are appealing to a Good Samaritan to contact them, saying he helped a 16-year-old girl during an attempted abduction and could assist investigators.

Police say the girl was waiting at a bus stop on Sept. 17 when a man drove past her several times in a van before parking the vehicle and approaching her.

Officers say he tried to entice her with liquor and a ride to work but she refused.

The girl resisted, and as she and a male passerby yelled at the suspect, he escaped.

Twenty-four-year-old Dwight Love-Paulson has been arrested and charged with assault.
