Nevada police seeking information in attempted assault

The Nevada Police Department received a report of an assault that occurred near the intersection of Austin Boulevard and Clay Street in Nevada at about 11 a.m. on April 26.

A 17-year-old female Nevada resident was approached by a passing car with one man in it who offered the girl a ride, which she refused. The man reportedly grabbed the victim's arm, but she broke free and ran home.

The suspect's vehicle is described as a forest green four-door passenger car, possibly with a dent in the front fender under the headlights. The victim described the driver as a dark- skinned man who spoke with an accent. The suspect left the scene driving westbound on Austin with a small child in the child seat on the rear driver's side of the automobile.

Nevada officers searched the area to no avail. Anyone in the area during that time that may have information regarding this incident is encouraged to contact the Nevada Police Department at (417) 448 -- 2710 or the Tip Hotline at (417) 448 - 5117. Any and all information will be kept confidential.
