Ski mask-wearing trio abducts girl, 13, on way home from NYC school
A 13-year-old girl was abducted by three strangers in ski masks while walking home from her Brooklyn high school — but managed to escape, police said.
The suspects forced the teen into a dark four-door sedan just before 7 p.m. Tuesday, grabbing her as she headed south on George Street, near Cypress Avenue, in Ridgewood, according to cops.
The victim managed to escape from the car about four blocks away at Myrtle and Seneca avenues.
She had been on her way home from Bushwick Leaders’ High School more than a mile away when she was snatched.
She did not report any physical injuries.
Police were looking to track down the suspects, two with dark complexions and one with a light complexion, cops said.
The masked men did not appear to know the victim prior to the abduction attempt, the NYPD said.
The dark sedan had tinted windows and an orange interior, police said.
The concerning incident comes about a week after a man in a blue van attempted to abduct a student near her school, Stephen A. Halsey JHS 157 in Rego Park, on Oct. 17, according to police and officials.
The creep stopped his van near the intersection of 62nd Road and Yellowstone Boulevard and asked the girl to get inside, authorities said.
She said no and ran home for help.
The principal sent an email to parents Monday alerting them that a student had reported being approached by a stranger while she was walking home from her after-school program.
