The 20-year-old victim tells police she was walking eastbound on Whitesville Road just east of Old Stage Road around 3:00 p.m. Sunday when a white 4-door sedan pulled up in front of her and the driver exited the vehicle.
The victim started running away from the driver who was spooked off when a passing car approached.
The vehicle then made a U-turn and again pulled in front of the woman.
The woman tells police the male driver once again exited his car and was able to grab a hold of the victim in an attempt to get her in his car.
The victim was able to free herself from his grasp outside his car when another vehicle approached and saw the two in a struggle.
The suspect entered his car and fled westbound on Whitesville Road.
The passerby then drove the victim to Delmar Police Department to report the incident.
The suspect is described as a Hispanic male, 5'7-5'8 tall, 135 to 140 pounds, with black hair down to his ears, wearing a black t-shirt, blue jeans, and sneakers. He was driving a white 4-door sedan with possible Virginia license plates.
