NEWARK, Calif. (KCBS) -- Newark police are warning residents about a man who apparently tried to kidnap an 11-year-old boy Tuesday.
The boy said he was near Parkshore and Edgewater drives around 4:20 p.m. Tuesday when the man drove up in a van and asked the boy if he needed a ride.
When the boy declined, he tells police the man got out of the van and asked him to get in. The boy ran away.
The van is green with tinted windows, and may have the letters "NVE" on the license plate.
The man is Hispanic, about 5 feet 11 inches tall and is described as being overweight.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Newark Police Department.
